“Great coverage and fabulous bold moves for GH! So glad to see
some PR industry leadership in these critical areas where we need to
compete.” Julie Winskie, Porter Novelli
“Is their model perfect? Truth is they don’t know yet but we’re
at the start of a restructuring of the PR sector, so other
agencies are bound to follow.” Ben Smith, prmoment.com
“I welcome the move. For too long PR consultancies have been held back
by employing too many ‘jacks of all trades.’” Danny Rogers, Editor-in-Chief, PRWeek UK
“It is easy to be cynical about such initiatives, but on balance I believe
it is a genuine attempt to reshape for a future that will involve
competition from many quarters outside the traditional PR sector.”
Steve Barrett, Editor-in-Chief, PRWeek US
“I definitely think this model will work and it could finally herald the
movement of PR into a broader comms role.” Francis Ingham, Chief Executive, PRCA

  • 39. “Great coverage and fabulous bold moves for GH! So glad to see some PR industry leadership in these critical areas where we need to compete.” Julie Winskie, Porter Novelli “Is their model perfect? Truth is they don’t know yet but we’re at the start of a restructuring of the PR sector, so other agencies are bound to follow.” Ben Smith, prmoment.com “I welcome the move. For too long PR consultancies have been held back by employing too many ‘jacks of all trades.’” Danny Rogers, Editor-in-Chief, PRWeek UK “It is easy to be cynical about such initiatives, but on balance I believe it is a genuine attempt to reshape for a future that will involve competition from many quarters outside the traditional PR sector.” Steve Barrett, Editor-in-Chief, PRWeek US “I definitely think this model will work and it could finally herald the movement of PR into a broader comms role.” Francis Ingham, Chief Executive, PRCA 39
