Purposeful Communication and Communicating Purpose
Even a cursory review of recent PR awards might suggest that a campaign needs to be ‘purposeful’ to have a chance of winning one of those coveted awards? But with growing concerns about 'woke washing' and questions being asked about whether Purpose is just the latest trend, we'll challenge the idea that Purpose is actually new. We'll see how the work of the original Quaker confectionary companies of the 19th Century can inform the best purpose-driven communication of today – brought to life by recent good, bad and ugly case studies. And with ESG and integrated reporting starting to give a much harder edge to purpose, we’ll examine how purpose should relate to an organisation's strategy, mission, vision and values to deliver real business value.

Politicians make decisions that impact on businesses, charities and other organisations on a daily basis – some positive, some less so.

The most effective organisations play an active role in the political world, building alliances and promoting their issues. This course will explore the strategies and approaches available to communications professionals who want to run a campaign designed to influence the political agenda.
