In a piece written for PR Week in June 2011 Deane declared his love for think-tanks and campaigning organisations, although recognising that "the line between the two was becoming increasingly blurred":
- "But I still think that my perceptions are accurate when I say that the importance of these groups has never been higher. They exert influence upon, and provide room to debate for, the leading lights within the coalition Government. And their importance should not be overlooked by those working in public relations.
- Think-tanks are changing minds at the heart of our national debate."
He highlighted the influence of several right-wing and free-market think tanks such as the Taxpayers' Alliance, The Freedom Association, Adam Smith Institute, Institute of Economic Affairs and Policy Exchange and Politeia.[2]
