The changing narratives of major projects

Few things or projects in life go precisely according to plan. Projects with a lifespan that can last a generation will evolve and transform. It’s natural. The challenge is managing expectations of those who the project services and ultimately fund it.

Separate news from noise

With the increasing interest in biotech updates from the media, it’s tempting to shoot out media releases on just about everything you do. That would be a mistake.

There’s only one-degree difference between water and ice

Suppose you want to explain to an audience why a one-degree difference in climate has a real-world impact, explaining that the difference between water and ice is an excellent place to start.

Peak performance

PR PB

Sport impacts so much of our lives. Participation improves both our physical and mental health. It creates connections and community. It represents the very best of who we are as people…and occasionally shows us at our very worst. Whether you’re into sport or not, the one thing we can all agree on is it’s the glue that keeps us all together.

More news, more media, more exposure

Celebrate your wins and explain your failures

When it comes to trust, corporations have a higher trust ranking internationally than NGOs, government and even media. Hence, it seems counterintuitive to want help from the media to amplify your messages. The reality is that although the media may have dropped in its trust ranking, most people still use media sources to get their news.

Social influencers are playing an increasing role in Public Relations for retail brands. Some brands are finding as many as 50% of those who register on their media centres are social influencers.
