Founded in 1948, the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) is the world's only Royal Chartered professional body for public relations practitioners with over 11,000 members.

The CIPR advances professionalism in public relations by making its members accountable to their employers and the public through a code of conduct and searchable public register, setting standards through training, qualifications, awards and the production of best practice and skills guidance, facilitating Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and awarding Chartered Public Relations Practitioner status (Chart.PR).

]]>The Chartered Institute of Public Relations’ (CIPR) Engage podcast returns with a new episode examining what makes an effective public relations campaign.

Episode 23 - Creating Effective PR and Communications Campaigns - is hosted by Miriam Brown, communications consultant and founder of Mulberry Brown Communications, who discusses how good campaigns come together, from defining the problem they need to solve through to delivery, evaluation and learning.

Miriam is joined by guests:

  • Sarah Key, leader of the content team at NHS Blood and Transplant, and
  • Tim Ridgway Chart.PR, the Strategic Stakeholder Engagement Manager at Surrey County Council.

Drawing on campaigns delivered across healthcare, local government, policing, and the charity sector, the panel discuss how practitioners can identify objectives, segment and map audiences to tailor messaging, and secure stakeholder buy-in. Listeners will hear about established planning approaches including the OASIS framework and PESO model, and the case for establishing strategies before reaching for tactics.

The panel concludes by examining how communicators can test novel approaches in their campaigns without chasing trends, what audiences reaction to influencer and AI-generated content reveals about the value of credible voices, and why evaluation and measurable indicators of performance belong in a campaign from its outset.

]]>The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has today published a new skills guide designed to help organisations protect their people, maintain trust, and support recovery through more effective internal crisis communication.

Internal Crisis Communication – exclusive to CIPR members - was developed by crisis communication specialist Alison Arnot Chart.PR FCIPR, and provides practical guidance for communicating with employees, contractors, and other internal stakeholders before, during and after a crisis. The guide emphasises the essential role of informed, engaged and supported employees in preventing harm and enabling organisational recovery post-crisis.

It also explores the seven stages of Internal Crisis Communication, a staged model that helps communicators meet evolving human and organisational needs from the first moments of crisis through to long-term recovery. It offers clear advice on message development, choosing the right channels, involving multiple organisational voices, and monitoring and adapting communications as crises unfold.

Founded in 1948, the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) is the world's only Royal Chartered professional body for public relations practitioners with over 11,000 members. 

The CIPR advances professionalism in public relations by making its members accountable to their employers and the public through a code of conduct and searchable public register, setting standards through training, qualifications, awards and the production of best practice and skills guidance, facilitating Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and awarding Chartered Public Relations Practitioner status (Chart.PR).

]]>Nearly two-thirds of women working in public relations have experienced gender-based discrimination or harassment, according to a new report exposing the systemic gender barriers in the public relations profession. Published ahead of International Women's Day, the report explores the gap of nearly 4,000 female practitioners in England and Wales who have left public relations mid-career or failed to advance to senior positions. It finds female practitioners who succeed in senior roles do so despite these barriers, developing "creative workarounds" to sustain careers within public relations practice.

Sponsored by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Research Fund, The Missing Women Study builds on the CIPR's 2024 PR Population report findings. It reported that women make up two-thirds of practitioners working in public relations below director level but under half of those working in senior roles. This new report combines a literature review, survey data from more than 230 respondents, and interviews with 30 women to pinpoint interconnected cultural, structural, and societal barriers that impede women's progress in the profession. The research identified:

  • Systemic Barriers: A "boys' club" mentality, devaluation of public relations work, limited development pathways, and societal caregiving expectations as key factors driving women out of the profession. Over half of survey respondents felt they did not have equal opportunities for advancement compared to male colleagues. 
  • Work-Life Challenges: The unsustainable, "always on" culture and lack of flexible working arrangements disproportionately affect women with caring responsibilities. Burnout was highlighted as the biggest career challenge, identified by over half of survey respondents. 
  • Strategic Career Choices: Women who succeed often employ "workarounds" by strategically managing their careers, choosing progressive employers, and investing in professional growth. However, these strategies often require significant compromises between career advancement and worklife balance. 
  • A Rewarding Career: Despite these challenges, the majority of women surveyed see public relations as a rewarding career. Over 9 in 10 rate their job satisfaction as very good, good, or average.

The research emphasises that successful women are thriving despite systemic barriers, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive change. Recommendations include the introduction of leadership development and progression programs and flexible working arrangements without career penalties. 

The study was delivered by a team of Socially Mobile graduates, Rana Audah, Isobel Wilson-Cleary and Josie Shepherd, led by Stephen Waddington. The project was reviewed and project managed by Sarah Waddington and supervised by Ben Verinder.

The Missing Women Study, developed from an analysis of Socially Mobile applicants and the CIPR PR Population study of 2021 census data, investigates the reasons behind the underrepresentation of women in senior public relations roles. The study uses a five-phase approach, including a literature review, quantitative research, qualitative research, data analysis, and participant feedback. Data was collected via a survey distributed through channels such as the CIPR, PRCA E&I Group, and Women in PR, and included semi-structured interviews with 30 mid-career practitioners.

The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has today launched its new strategy for 2025-2029. Having worked on it with members, the strategy outlines the Institute’s vision to equip PR professionals worldwide to make a positive difference in business and society through chartership, innovation, and inclusion.

It is built on four strategic priorities: Chartership & Lifelong Learning, Leading Practice Development, Advocacy, and a Diverse and Collaborative Community. Through these pillars, the Institute will advance its journey towards making PR a predominantly chartered profession, support practitioners in adapting to technological changes including AI, act as a trusted voice for the industry, and work to remove barriers to entry within PR.

Key initiatives the Institute has planned for 2025 include raising the profile of chartered status and ensuring representation of Chartered Practitioners on boards, maintaining its position as the leading global AI training provider for PR professionals, continuing the 'Lobbying for Good Lobbying' campaign to support efforts to rebuild public trust, and working towards the renewal of its National Equality Standard accreditation in 2026.

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. 

The latest initiative follows previous #PRPays interviews with Heathrow Airport CEO, John Holland-Kaye and Energy UK CEO, Lawrence Slade.

An Introduction to Energy PR from Chartered Institute of Public Relations

This is one of many reasons we believe communications across the energy value chain to be part of the strategic management function; the constant interaction of issues and communities creates multiple simultaneous risks and opportunities - some of which will be existential. The effective management of these interconnected issues demands specialist understanding and constant learning, whether you're just starting out on your career or you're a Director of Communications.]]>
'An Introduction to Energy PR' marks the beginning of our journey to demonstrate the value of Public Relations as a strategic management function in the Energy sector, and the significant benefits strategic communicators can bring to build bridges across the complex energy stakeholder profile. ]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2018 09:29:45 +0000 https://content.presspage.com/uploads/214/500_energypr-592962.jpg?10000 https://content.presspage.com/uploads/214/energypr-592962.jpg?10000 CIPR welcomes diversity Christmas campaign https://newsroom.cipr.co.uk/cipr-welcomes-diversity-christmas-campaign/ https://newsroom.cipr.co.uk/cipr-welcomes-diversity-christmas-campaign/162821Notes to editors

]]>This Christmas season has seen the launch of a campaign to diversify family images of festive celebrations used within the media.

CIPR welcomes the “Christmas So White” initiative started by Nadia Powell in partnership with modelling agency Looks Like Me; which aims to show families from minority backgrounds taking part in typical Christmas scenes in an effort to tackle under-representation in the media.

]]>
“It’s great to see some brands, such as John Lewis, Amazon, Sainsbury's and Curry's PC World taking a more inclusive stance this year, with diverse casting and story lines, that make a noticeably different connection with the audience. These brands have shown they understand the diversity of their audience.

“But, sadly the vast majority of Christmas brand campaigns completely overlook diversity and inclusion and remain all 'white', leaving their non-white audience ‘out in the cold’.

“The recently-launched #ChristmasSoWhite campaign is a timely and important reminder about the critical lack of diverse and inclusive images in marketing and advertising campaigns. The wider communications industry needs to take note, and stop selling the unrepresentative dream of a ‘white’ Christmas.”]]> Thu, 22 Dec 2016 13:07:22 +0000 https://content.presspage.com/uploads/214/500_cipr.jpg?10000 https://content.presspage.com/uploads/214/cipr.jpg?10000 New award for Future Leaders at the #insidestory awards 2016 https://newsroom.cipr.co.uk/new-award-for-future-leaders-at-the-insidestory-awards-2016/ https://newsroom.cipr.co.uk/new-award-for-future-leaders-at-the-insidestory-awards-2016/95609Notes to editors

Each year the group of internal communicators on the committee review the programme, and adapt it to make sure it delivers what the changing world of internal communication needs.

This year the main category of employee engagement will be split to level the playing field, giving smaller organisations a chance to shine, and the best internal magazine category has also been divided by budget to better represent the work internal communication does, often delivered with minimal expenditure.

The awards categories are:

1. Best example of employee engagement

1. SME (up to 1000 people)
2. Small (1-5k people)
3. Medium (5-10k people)
4. Large (10-50k people)
5. Extra large (50k+ people)

2. Best change or transformation communication campaign
3. Best public sector or charity campaign
4. Best internal event
5. Best use of video
6. Best intranet or enterprise social network
7. Best magazine or newsletter (Choose: a. digital, or b. print, or if it’s both submit two entries)

1. Under £10,000
2. £10,000-£50,000
3. £50,000-100,000
4. £100,000+

8. Most innovative approach to an internal communications challenge
9. Best in-house team (1-6)
10. Best in-house team (7 and more)
11. Best agency
12. Clare Latham award for the best individual contribution to internal communication

]]>
Best practice and celebrating success are key elements of the CIPR Inside strategy. #insidestory demonstrates our commitment to shining a light on great achievements and promoting best practice.

The judges will be looking beyond the outputs and tactics to see what impact the work has had on the organisation, and assess how well it’s achieved the objectives.

Internal communication is all about better informed, more motivated and engaged employees. When we do our job well as communicators, the organisation can thrive.

These awards celebrate talent, share best practice, measure success and help us all to learn from the best.]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2015 17:11:12 +0100 https://content.presspage.com/uploads/214/500_cipr_inside_awards_2015_614x307.jpg?10000 https://content.presspage.com/uploads/214/cipr_inside_awards_2015_614x307.jpg?10000 CIPR welcomes Government commitment to professionalism https://newsroom.cipr.co.uk/cipr-welcomes-government-commitment-to-professionalism/ https://newsroom.cipr.co.uk/cipr-welcomes-government-commitment-to-professionalism/14821Notes to editors

Communications is now one of nine ‘functional professions’ within Government, according to Alex Aiken, Executive Director of Government Communication, giving it more weight as a profession and greater standing alongside areas such as legal affairs and human resources.

The proposals for the Government Communication Service will establish a new governance structure led by a Board chaired by the Minister for Cabinet Office. It will support government communicators to deliver policy priorities through development, delivery and evaluation of progress against the annual Government Communications Plan.

]]>Pass the word on - there is a rare chance to show off to your friends and get some cutting edge training with the offer of a unique ‘Big Mouth’ T-shirt for delegates attending the ‘word-of-mouth and viral communications’ half-day training course at the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) offices in London on Wednesday 28 March.

The tongue-in-cheek offer, with the promotional message ‘Big Mouth – I went on the word-of-mouth training course at the CIPR and got more than this lousy T-shirt’, celebrates the pioneering training session on one of the most powerful forms of communication.

The course offers 101 tips on how you can manage your word-of-mouth, harness and cook what are called 'memes', and get viral communications working for you - online and offline, enabling practitioners to become the equivalent of ‘Word-of-Mouth Directors’ for their organisations.

The course has been devised and will be delivered by Andy Green FCIPR. His book ‘Effective Personal Communication Skills for PR’, part of the Institute’s Public Relations in Practice series, was one of the first public relations texts to cover word-of-mouth and ‘memes’.

Sharing examples from the work of Edward Bernays to the latest cutting edge campaigns, you will go away telling your friends how you can manage your word-of-mouth, how to create positive messages about you, what you do and what you stand for.
