Global survey indicates positive outlook for public relations in 2023
Over the course of the pandemic, many communications agencies reduced staff complements, restructured or pivoted into new models of implementation.

Changing perceptions about palliative care
Prior to 2020, within many cultures, death was a sanitised topic and one that did not get much mainstream airtime. The global Covid-19 pandemic changed that, with conversations about mortality increasingly taking place within homes and around the globe. These conversations mirrored the ones had by the medical profession as medical and healthcare staff experienced levels of death that were, for many, unprecedented. 4 May 2022 Read more

Leadership now: Lessons from 2021 and preparing for the future
As I reflect on 2021, the main word that comes to mind is "survival". Even as the world ramped up to continue its fight against Covid-19, corporate leaders in South Africa found other challenges waiting in the wings - an economic downturn, political unrest, violence and looting.
