Paul Holmes | Public Relations Legend | Holmes Report and PRovoke Founder (UK)
Yes, this is the person from your textbooks – get ready to meet the great Paul Holmes, often described as the most influential figure in the public relations industry globally! He started his career in England working for local newspapers – and today the whole world knows him as the leader, founder and CEO behind the famous Holmes Report.
Guided by the thought of building the authoritative voice of the global public relations industry, he founded The Holmes Report, dedicated to proving and improving the value of public relations. Twenty years later The Holmes Report becomes PRovoke, spanning five continents and producing world-renowned events, research and reports. Not only has The Holmes Report been recognising best practices and setting standards for years, but it also continues to recognise PR trends and dictate the future of the industry.
When it comes to trends, one of them is timeless – sustained success for any PR agency, public or private, as well as business in general, can only be built on the highest ethical and professional standards. But today your brand is actually all the things that other people are saying about you and the challenge is to make sure that people are saying the right things, claims Holmes. So, what are people saying about you? How to be in control? The real question is – how to face the future of PR?
