2004 Bateman Case Study Competition

The 2004 Bateman Case Study Competition offers an exciting, unique and challenging experience. We believe this Competition will provide countless opportunities that will allow participants to exercise creativity and originality in planning their campaign.

PRSSA is pleased to announce that Ford Motor Credit Company will be this year’s sponsor for the competition. Ford Credit is the world leader in meeting the financial services needs of automotive consumers globally. As a provider of automotive financing, the company is a natural fit in helping young adults manage their financial responsibilities while they still have a clean slate.

Working with Ford Credit to develop a plan for increased awareness of its educational program, will allow PRSSA teams to gain knowledge about the role of public relations as it applies to consumer credit.

This year, the final portion of the Bateman Competition will take place at Ford Credit’s corporate offices in Detroit, MI. Each Bateman team member must be available from Tuesday, May 6 through Friday, May 9, 2004 to participate in the final competition. Please be sure that every consideration is made before entering.

PRSSA looks forward to receiving your entries and encourages you and your students to enter this competition—not for the money, and not necessarily for the recognition, but for the rewarding experience which will undoubtedly further your successful career in the public relations industry.

Please read the enclosed material carefully and if you have questions, feel free to contact me at (212) 460-1466 or email jeneen.garcia@prsa.org.

Public relations:

  • is a means for the public to have its desires and interests felt by institutions in our society. It speaks for the public to otherwise unresponsive organizations, as well as speaking for those organizations to the public.

  • helps achieve mutual adjustment between institutions and groups, establishing smoother relationships that benefit the public.

  • can be a safety valve for freedom. By providing means of working out accommodations, it makes arbitrary action or coercion less likely.

  • is an essential element in the communications system that enables individuals to be informed on many aspects of subjects that affect their lives.

  • can help activate organizations' social conscience.

  • is a universal activity. Everyone practices principles of public relations in seeking acceptance, cooperation or affection of others. Public relations professionals only practice it in a more professional way.
