Video: Highlights from FutureComms15

The biggest PR & communications event, FutureComms15, was held in London on 18th June. What got communications professionals talking and how do we stay on top of our PR game? What seems to be the holy grail for businesses?

“Brands are content channels now. We want to start a revolution. And revolution won’t start around profit, ever", Alex Meyers, Founder and Managing Director at Manifest, says.

"There is no one size fits all anymore - people have got to be multiskilled, and master digital media & social media", says Chris Webb, the former Head of News and Deputy Director of Media and Communication for the Metropolitan Police.

"The debate has been extremely provocative", Consultant Tariq Ahmed summarises the seminar day.

See the highlights of FutureComms15 below, featuring quotes from Robert Rose, Alex Myers, Robert Phillips and Chris Webb and visitors of the conference.

I agree with him. It’s also hard to get away from comments about the PR & Communications industry’s need to think and act like MBA’s and improve their knowledge of business.
