PUBLIC RELATIONSHIPS INDEX STUDY 2018
The Argyle Public Relationships Index™, conducted in partnership with Leger Research Intelligence, measures six research-tested metrics of the quality of relationships between brands and their publics: trust, satisfaction, commitment, caring for customers, concern for people, and the public’s ability to influence of the brand. The index averages public ratings of how the brand they know best in each sector performs on the six dimensions.
In this year’s study, Canadians seem happiest with small rewards such as free movies and groceries rather than saving up for dream vacations.
