Earlier this year, the PRCA with the entire Future of PR/Comms and their Social Impact research collective have launched the reports of the study in English and Spanish. Since then colleagues have made great efforts to promote the study and facilitate conversations around its findings.
The preliminary results of the study have been presented at PRCA UK’s “Where practice meets academia” event in May 2023, at EACD’s Summit in Brussels and at AMEC’s Global Summit in Miami.
The study was presented either by myself or other colleagues:
