Welcoming members Director level and up, to join up to 15 Marketing Leaders in this executive round table discussion.

Join Victoria Kirk, a 20-year PR veteran, Founder of Verified Communications, and former PR lead at Gap Inc., with experience at top agencies NATIONAL and Cossette.

In an age of consumer skepticism, PR has never been more critical. While the media landscape continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: PR is—and always has been—about credibility and trust.

In this conversation, we will explore:

  • Emerging trends in PR and what’s shaping them – from the rise of newsfluencers to the evolution of the corporate newsroom.
  • Why major brands like Nike and Burger King are shifting from performance marketing to a brand-first approach – and how PR plays a pivotal role in the mix through building brands, while driving search.
  • How to build your digital footprint with the power of PR and storytelling – turning media coverage into lasting influence.
  • Tactical tips to capture press interest – what journalists and media gatekeepers look for and how to stand out in a crowded landscape.

Please submit your questions and come prepared to chat. Only 15 spots available.
