EVENT: Is integrated Communications the Future of PR?

Posted in PR and Communications, Freelancer, Industry news, Events,

On Tuesday 10th March, The Work Crowd and the PRCA are teaming up to host a panel event, Is Integrated Communications the future of PR?

Once upon a time clients engaged their PR agency, marketing agency, and social agency to accomplish their marketing and communications programme. Fast forward to 2020 and the integrated communications agency is increasingly becoming the norm as a one-stop-shop.

At this panel event, we'll be looking at why this shift to an integrated agency has happened, how agencies have adapted, how integrated teams work together, and the challenges and benefits this restructure brings to clients.

We will also look at the learnings we can take as freelancers when thinking about how we can offer an integrated approach to our clients. Whilst also addressing the practicalities of how to upskill, collaborate or specialise.

Kindly hosted by Brands2Life, the panel discussion will be chaired by The Work Crowd CEO Alice Weightman, Chairman of the PRCA Independent Consultants Group.
