Content direction and creation is usually a conversation that happens between the client, the account executive, and the creative department. However, an article on PR Daily gives a slew of reasons why PR professionals should be driving content:

1. They are storytellers.
2. They are imaginative while being strategic.
3. They are natural writers.
4. They are experts at driving attention.
5. They are able to individualize audiences.
