Our 15th Year Starts with a Celebration of Communications Innovations
As we kick off the first day of our 15th year—our CommPRO ‘Quinceañera’—I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our incredible community. Over the past decade, we’ve grown stronger and more inclusive, uniting every aspect of communications thought leadership, from Public Relations and Marketing Communications to Comms Tech, Investor Relations, and beyond.
So far this year 2024, we've published pivotal articles and podcasts. These include ‘Insights on Navigating the Misinformation Maze on Social during the 2024 Election Cycle,’ revealing the growing concern about the pervasive influence of misinformation, and industry-focused episodes from our PR Masters Podcast Series, featuring notable guests like Sir Martin Sorrell , Jon Iwata and, most recently, the rising Tiffany Guarnaccia.
We've published powerful insights from industry and media innovators, including interviews with Nielsen, Zeno Group, and Paramount, on the transformative role of AI in marketing, thanks to PRophet and Stagwell. Industry veteran George Stephanopoulos shared his thoughts on the inner workings of the White House, while Katie Couric plus CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, and Jim Sciutto delved into their media industry experiences and insights.
Events such as Larry Weber’s 'Harnessing the Power of Tech for Good,' Ali’s Velshi’s ‘Smalls Acts of Courage,’ and our panel discussion hosted by the Center for Excellence in Public Leadership at George Washington University on 'Breaking Barriers: Advancing Women’s Leadership in Business,' featuring guests from Edelman, Finn Partners, and the Southern Gas Association, have sparked significant industry conversations. These events have drawn experts from across the globe to share their knowledge and experiences.
These examples represent just a fraction of the rich content we’ve produced this year, reinforcing our commitment to keeping you informed, inspired, and ahead of the curve in your professional endeavors.
Whether you're reading this in a boardroom, at your desk, or somewhere in between, our goal remains to provide you with articles, thought leadership, discussions, and events that are unique, compelling, and relevant to your everyday professional life.
What makes CommPRO truly special is that our content is created by the industry, for the industry, and shared across the globe. Frequent contributors Helio Fred Garcia, Simon Erskine Locke, Dominic Calabrese, Arthur Solomon and Leslie Grossman have consistently provided experienced perspectives that resonate deeply within our community. Their articles, alongside those from other esteemed authors, have helped shape the ongoing dialogue in our industry.
Your insights and ideas are the foundation of our platform, and I encourage you to reach out with any article or event ideas. We would love to hear from you. We welcome you to join the CommPRO + CommunicationsMatch™ community.
As we move forward, I look forward to continuing our collaboration, celebrating our shared successes, and exploring the innovations that the future holds.
Thank you for being an essential part of the CommPRO community. Here's to another remarkable year together!
