CIPR National Conference to address Post-Brexit Role of PR

CIPR President Rob Brown will lead a National Conference for PR professionals on “Breaking Through the Noise” on 22 November, at the Barbican centre, London.

The theme will address the post-Brexit role of public relations, specifically:

• With the current political and economic climate in Britain at least in part due to a failure in communications, have we as a nation and a society undervalued the role of PR?

• What role can PR and communications play in rebuilding of Brand Britain?

• What changes will we see in the way PR is practiced in the future and what role will the PR profession play in ensuring that vital messages are communicated in a world of fragmented media?

Confirmed speakers include:

• Alex Aiken, Executive Director for Government Communications

• Colin Byrne, CEO UK & EMEA, Weber Shandwick

• Russ Brady, Head of Group PR, The Co-Operative Group

• Mimi Turner, Marketing Director, The LADbible Group

• Peter Cross, Communications Director, John Lewis

 

Rob Brown FCIPR, CIPR President, Managing Partner of Rule 5
Despite living in an era of unparalleled access to information and the ability to engage across society, the prevailing ethos is uncertainty and anxiety. We have seen the reputation of communication-led campaigns brought low by the Brexit referendum but the UK also faces a decade of unique opportunity in which the creation, strengthening and sustaining of relationships will be critical.

As a profession, we must respond and grasp the opportunity for leadership. I want this conference to be a positive contribution to the public debate on how we shape our national story.
