We are back with the PR and Comms Collaborative Monthly Meetup, bringing you some intriguing talks and an amazing lineup of speakers! Have you ever wondered or debated how easy it is for journalists to transition into PR and Communications? There are many instances of journalists switching sides and taking over prominent positions. But, while journalism and PR are two sides of the same coin, they require different mindsets and approaches. Is it really that easy for journalists to make the switch? Do they also face challenges – if so, what kind? More importantly, is switching sides for everyone? In our August meetup, we aim to find answers to these questions from former journalists themselves. We'll have a senior and well-known journalist who has moved to an agency, along with Nolan Pinto, who has returned to his journalism roots after experimenting with PR and Comms roles. In a candid setting, they will share their experiences and insights Date: 24.08.2024 | 2PM - 5PM Venue: Obeya Pulse, Ulsoor Road, Bengaluru RSVP - https://shorturl.at/EwCM7 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐑𝐒𝐕𝐏 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲.

"I want to fly, I want to run, I even want to fall. I just never want to stop" - Bunny from Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani And those are the principles that Payal Dasgupta has lived by, in her career spanning over a decade. Despite her fear of stage, she took ours by storm, telling us about her career journey from a PR exec to entrepreneur and back to the agency world. And boy did she inspire us! A key takeaway was - you can take a break when you are tired or step back to analyse what went wrong if something doesn't go your way, but don't give up! For more such inspiring stories, join us at our next month's meetup. Stay tuned for more details #Networking #PR #Communications #Workshops #PRCommsCollab

Often the question looms over our already busy head, “what is the next move? Do I become a consultant or do I move on and embark on an entrepreneurial adventure, Is agency better or brands?” It’s a loop, that often seems to baffle the best of us in the business.

A big kudos to Shashank Bharadwaj for his spirit and dedication to create a forum that is so democratic and volunteer driven! Knowing our fraternity and community should be the way to ensure that PR stays and we all thrive! A much awaited meet up with Tinu Cherian Abraham Tanvi Agarwal Archita Deb and Akhil Kumar Singh Raghavendra Rao Anindita Kannan Met few faces who have also witnessed my own journey Amulya Nagaraj Roshan Mohan And getting to hang out with those whom I have communicated via LinkedIn or some forums is an icing on the cake!
