The CIPR has published an exclusive interview with the Director of Communications at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) highlighting the positive contribution PR delivers for business and society.
The interview with Penny Fox is the latest instalment in the CIPR's #PRpays series, which aims to showcase the strategic value of public relations to the business community.
Drawing on her experience of leading the communications function at one of the government's busiest departments, Fox reveals the role PR professionals can play in challenging policy makers and ensuring audiences' needs are placed front and centre of all campaigns.
From campaigns on workers rights to supporting businesses on renewable energy, the interview showcases the positive impact strategic communication can have on society.
Too often, PR is misunderstood and undervalued by business leaders. #PRPays forms part of our efforts to improve the perception of public relations in the business community. I'd like to thank Penny Fox for sharing her insight and helping us shine a light on the true value of PR.
The latest initiative follows previous #PRPays interviews with Heathrow Airport CEO, John Holland-Kaye and Energy UK CEO, Lawrence Slade.
