I'm afraid I don't agree at all with the tone of your post. Yes I do 'insinuate' (evil, eh) that PR agencies are currently being usurped - PR people at the NMK event agreed with me that the simple fact is that non-PR agencies are eating the PR agency pie. SEO agencies, digital advertising and planning agencies, for example. Fact, as David Brent might say. And I don't suggest that PR peeps should be 'bullied into having to becoming social media experts and having all the answers to hand.' I suggest that they 'evolve their current forms' and hire in people with great complementary skills and experiences to bolster areas like the analysis of data. Hey Wendy, thanks for joining in.
