PR-Massnahmen is one of those words which is so simple, I suddenly can't think how to translate. Elsewhere, PR-Aktivitäten is used, which I have used "PR activities" for. I'm not sure whether to use "PR measures" or "PR campaigns" or what as an alternative. It includes leaflets, posters, screen savers, promotional gifts, TV and radio ads etc. - the whole range of press activities, so I'm looking for something fairly broad.

PR activities/operations


Explanation:
This is what I would have been my first suggestion anyway. I wouldn't be put off by "PR-Aktivitäten"; the author's just using different terms for the same thing. You can do the same in English whatever the German says. And as Manuela points out, "PR" could also suffice.
