I made the move from PR agency life to in-house 15 years ago and vowed to never look back. While the hours in any comms role are demanding and will never fit the conventional 9-5 mould, I was working on some of the agency’s highest-profile clients and juggling their never-ending demands was exhausting. After six fantastic, but tiring years, I made the decision to move internally, to focus all my attention on one business, and firmly close the door on my PR agency days. Or so

Last week we hosted an event for our senior client community about Web3, the Metaverse and NFTs (non-fungible tokens, if you’re Rip Van Winkle and have been lucky enough to hide in a cave for the past few years). NFT was the Collins dictionary word of the year in 2021 and there are over 25,000 and 50,000 tweets per hour using the hashtag “NFT” on Twitter! As communicators we’ve all felt the presence of this new virtual world impress itself on us ever more keenly over the past

Last week we were shortlisted for the PRMoment Independent Agency of the Year 2022 award. The bad news: we didn't win. That glory went to the mighty agency which is Manifest. There were 8 agencies on the shortlist! Shows what we were up against. We were thrilled to make the cut. The good news: we got the whole PRN team together for the first time since before Covid!

The PRN Consumer team is excited today to reveal what we’ve been working on to promote our client Purplebricks’ sponsorship of Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics this summer. Working alongside Sportsbeat and the in-house team at Purplebricks, this week we’ve unveiled a creative sponsorship initiative working with three British athletes who are also talented artists to support Team GB at the Olympics! The athletes are professional boxer Joe Joyce, former rugby player Henry Fraser,

We were founded in 2005 when remote working wasn’t easy. Skype was newfangled, laptops were a luxury and there was no free wifi! Even if you could get access to the tech, flexible working was for mothers and others who’d stepped off the career path. It couldn’t possibly deliver business efficiencies and keep brilliant people at the top of their game. Could it? Fast forward 15 years and the world of work is unrecognisable, galvanised by the pandemic. Entire industries, organis

As recorded by our first work experience intern, Katie Headley... I graduated from University at the beginning of this summer and gradually I began the ever-challenging task of having to search for a job in the real world - made even harder by the current climate. I have previously worked for a marketing team and a PR agency. I really enjoyed both roles and found them very interesting, so these are definitely my starting point of what I want to do in the future. I was put in

The #Covid-19 lockdown meant the closure of production facilities for our client, Toyota GB, as well as the cancellation of all press launches, loans and press trips. As these activities provided the majority of content for our PR programme, the PRN team was presented with a yawning gap in communications for both the Toyota and Lexus brands. Our challenge was how to maintain the dialogue with the media, and remain front of mind for the consumer. We brainstormed remotely and
