Let’s be honest – 2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but especially for PR and communications professionals. In the wake of a global pandemic and the social and economic repercussions that followed, the stakes were raised like never before.
In this context, getting your strategy right in terms of messaging, tone, adaptation, and execution were more important than ever.
If you overcome insurmountable challenges this year, then you’ve come to the right place.
