Vision 2013 - with PRISA President Tshepo Matseba
"Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others."- Jonathan Swift (Irish writer)
In these tumultuous times, ambiguity and uncertainty seem to reign supreme in the public relations and communication profession. It is up to communicators to see through the thick cloud of uncertainty and look to the future. A clear map outlining the way forward is crucial to gain a competitive advantage in this fast-moving industry. Finding this vision is the intention of the upcoming session with the PRISA president.
During this session, we will look at these key areas:
• Brand engagement and internal communication - how to effectively leverage your brand equity to tap into its vast public relations and commercial potential.
• Interrogate the latest trends on measurement and evaluation
• Return on investment - creative solutions to answer the question beloved of leaders "why should I spend my money?"
• Digital media - An exploration of how it has altered the way communicators engage with journalists and the media.
• Outsourcing - what is the value of using outside services and best practice
• And more insights, perspectives and opinions on what the future holds for the profession
Join us for what is shaping up to be an exciting, progressive session and have the opportunity to participate in the open floor discussion with the speaker. As the aim is to develop a proactive vision for communicators, a collaborative conversation will be held with the PRISA president. Delegates are encouraged to prepare topics they would like to discuss, debate or share with the president and other delegates. This event is planned to be interactive and issues will be raised in real-time, so don't miss out.
