Event Overview

There has been some controversial opinions between PR and marcomms professionals,debating whether or not PR is suffering a crisis of confidence despite others believing demand for PR is growing. This raises the question of whether we need to be more focused solely on PR, or if it is time to integrate other disciplines such as marketing and advertising?

Off the back of the PRCA National Conference, the PRCA Independent Consultnats Group has decided to offer a panel discussion to share insights from one of this year’s popular topics. On 14th November, Alice Weightman CMPRA, CEO of The Work Crowd & Chairman of the PRCA Independent Consultants Group, will lead an expert panel discuss the sustainability and future of PR and what it means for independents in the year ahead.

  • Focusing on PR vs. leveraging other disciplines
  • can we standout and attract new business through our clients communications
