The marketing communications practitioner, who was also the guest speaker at the just-concluded Public Relations Week, organised by the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN), in Abeoukta, Ogun State, recently, noted that creating such awareness would go a long way in educating the organisations on the direct positive impact such would have on the value of the business.

He advised PR practitioners to always play a key role in fostering understanding of goodwill as a fundamental corporate investment.
