Communications manager

A communications manager, sometimes called "public relations manager" or "pr manager", is a person entrusted with the management (planning, implementation and controlling) of strategic, goal-oriented communication processes between organizations (companies, associations, authorities, NGOs, etc.) and their respective stakeholders.
Typical job titles for communications managers are - depending on their level - "Communications manager", Communications Director, "Vice President Communications" and Chief Communications Officer (CCO). The activity is not to be equated with that of the press or media spokesperson, who is only responsible for communication with the media (media relations). However, the area of media relations makes up a large (but declining) area of work for communication managers.
