Thanksgiving Reflections on Progress and Community in Communications
The Media.com and CommPRO teams with Pat Kiernan at the PRSA-NY Big Apple Awards.
As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, it’s a meaningful time to reflect on the remarkable progress we’ve made together in the communications industry. At CommPRO, we are deeply thankful for the incredible community that has shaped our platform into a global hub for thought leadership across Public Relations, Marketing Communications, Comms Tech, Investor Relations, and beyond.
Reflecting on a Year of Impact
This year has been one of growth, collaboration, and innovation. With your support, CommPRO has tackled some of the most critical challenges and opportunities in our industry. Here are some of the highlights:
Our article, Insights on Navigating the Misinformation Maze on Social during the 2024 Election Cycle, delved into the pervasive influence of misinformation and how professionals can address this growing concern.
Through our PR Masters Podcast Series, we’ve had the privilege of featuring industry icons like Sir Martin Sorrell, Maurice Lévy, and Amy Binder, each sharing valuable lessons from their distinguished careers.
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, Jim Sciutto and Dana Bash delved into their media industry experiences and insights.
Driving Industry Conversations Through Events
This year, CommPRO has also supported and hosted events that brought together global experts to inspire action and spark dialogue:
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.
CommPRO is thankful for our collaboration with PRSA-NY on the production of the 2024 PRSA-NY Big Apple Awards. The Big Apple Awards continue to set the standard for excellence in public relations, highlighting the visionaries who are driving our industry forward. This event not only celebrated their achievements but also fosters the innovation and collaboration that will shape the future of communications
These events reinforced our commitment to bringing timely, relevant topics to the forefront and fostering connections within the communications community.
Empowering a Community
What makes CommPRO truly special is our collaborative, community-driven model. Our content is created by the industry, for the industry, and shared worldwide. 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.
