The standard of entries for the 2025 Campaign #InspiringWomenAwards is outrageous. Our female peers are making moves and churning out high standard work! Great to be in the room with industry legends/fellow judges. March ceremony here we come! #Awards #CampaignMagazine
#PeopleLikeUs unlocked! It was my first chance to attend and it was as a speaker, on PLU's 5th Birthday no less. Sheeraz Gulsher had built a network of immense value. My fellow speakers spoke on meaningful campaigns and deeply personal topics. 10/10

The Christmas season opened with a bang last night at the #WomeninPR pre-xmas party. It was so uplifting to hug, natter and compare notes with comms faces old & new. Including some of my favourite former bosses and peers.
Thank you @eviebarrett.bsky.social for the opportunity to weigh in among some other fab people!

Reposting this UK journo thread starter pack so I can keep referencing it. Thanks @charlesubaghs.bsky.social for doing the hard work!
Nicely put Rich, I agree about fears of the mass X-odus. That will take time. And whilst we like shiny new stuff, we're also creatures of habit, so it'll be a minute before BS beds in as a proper useful tool. Plus still basic stuff missing for brands to be able to report via analytics.
Just recorded a UK podcast 🎙 perhaps my mum might finally understand what I do! 😂 Spoke to Ebony Gayle for #GemsInComms from #PRCA, reflecting on industry progress & wild early advice like "speak posh to clients" 🙄 it reignited my love for comms: Give it a listen www.linkedin.com/posts/ellada...
This is such a smart feature Hannah! Embedding inclusivity as a core consideration rather than an afterthought.
