  • Authentic leadership and the new CEO agenda

    August 16, 2021

    Today’s consumers have a complex view of authentic leadership and when and why they believe CEOs should take a public stance on complex issues such as public health, climate change, diversity (and diverse representation within a company's workforce and its leadership). Three-quarters (74%) report it’s important for CEOs to take a stand on issues that ‘reflect the collective views and actions of the organizations they lead’, while only 60% say CEOs should take a stand...

    August 10, 2021

    Mental health and the PR industry The numbers in the PRCA’s mental wellbeing report in October 2020 made for grim reading: nine out of ten PR professionals reported struggling with their mental health.

And, while more PR professionals were willing to talk about their mental health than...

  • The future of brand authenticity — leadership, inclusivity and activism

    August 2, 2021

    Nicole Harris, research manager, TRUE Global Intelligence After the hot mess that was 2020, it’s no surprise that social responsibility is now a more important aspect of brand identity than ever before. In fact, a business’s impact on societal outcomes now accounts for almost one-third of informed consumers’ expectations, according to FleishmanHillard’s latest Authenticity Gap study. But while 64% of informed consumers internationally – and 61% of Brits – say that a company must talk...
