Message from the IPRA President: You are (NOT) on mute July/August 2020
in Press Release 2 years, 10 months ago
"You are on mute" is a phrase we often hear, experience, or even sense in our online covid-19 influenced daily lives. It is also a situation that sometimes is painfully close to the realities of public relations. How many times have we tried to design campaigns, programmes and activities that for one reason or another have remained on mute? Well, here is today’s good news and it comes directly from the second round of this year's IPRA GWA judging.
Message from the IPRA President: Time to work, learn and harvest June 2020
in Press Release 2 years, 11 months ago
It has been a very busy June. The judging of this year's GWA entries has begun and it will be a fierce competition. We have many great campaigns, including a good number of activities dealing with aspects of COVID-19 communications. Another COVID-19 related initiative, the global taskforce giving free consultations to help communications leaders in the crisis, kept some of our members busy. Personally, I had a discussion with a colleague which I found both insightful as well as mutually beneficial. For a free consultation click here.

Message from the IPRA President: Getting ready for the Day After April 2020
in Press Release 3 years, 1 month ago
With a great sense of relief we see covid-19 slowing down its deadly global dance as countries are getting ready to return to normal. However, in the after-covid-19 world, normal will mean a new normal which we are yet to create together. A new normal for us, for our clients, for our industry and our communities. What does a new normal look like? The pandemic has outlined three key lessons that, I believe, will help us build this new normal.

Message from the IPRA President: Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable March 2020
3 years, 2 months ago
I hope my message finds you and your loved ones in good health! Covid-19 has shocked our lives in all possible ways. We think twice before shaking hands with a stranger and our homes have become simultaneously an office, a boardroom, a school, a gym, a park, and a stage. Because the world is now globally connected the virus has spread globally in just a few months. And along with that spread is another. That is an infection around the world of fake news, fake cures, fear and panic. In addition many IPRA colleagues across the world report that the virus threat has triggered laws and measures that would otherwise take years of discussions before becoming a norm. Some of these measures are vital to protect our health now, others will have the potential to impact our lives far beyond the current crisis.
