“All around the world, the PR industry is rising to the enormous challenge in front of it. From one continent to another, PRCA members are facing the future with remarkable confidence. In our conversations with the industry’s leading lights, there is a keen appreciation of the scale of the difficulties ahead, and a knowledge that tough decisions are required. But there is also a determination to take those decisions, and a belief that the flexibility and fundamental soundness of the industry will see us through to better times.”

Each crisis has its own opportunities and being able to adapt is a key to navigate challenging times and to unlock these opportunities.
