Oh, what a night!

Our Gala event proved the future really is bright for comms professionals. Our two debate teams pitched their cases to a room filled with the buzz of communicators across all industry areas, career stages and roles.

🔮The future is bright for comms because:

⚡Demand is strong, despite a tougher market
⚡Versatility & resilience got us where we are today
⚡The next gen are shining examples of innovation
⚡Senior execs are asking us to solve more complex problems
⚡Bad comms are a massive liability to business & society
⚡We get results by knowing what matters to our audiences
⚡We build trust, hold institutions to account & combat misinformation.

We’re ready to bring on the future!  And yes, we are fun at parties! 🎉
