Although, prior to my PR role, I was far from aware of the options available in the industry! Having now achieved a PR qualification (a Distinction in the Higher Lever 4 PRCA PR Apprenticeship) and currently studying for another (PR & Communications Degree at Greenwich University) I want to share with you my personal suggestions and advice when it comes to the most prominent qualifications and courses to skyrocket your career in PR. For even more tips about starting a career in PR through an apprenticeship, check out our latest podcast, featuring special guest, Steph Umebuani - the PRCA’s Head of Apprenticeships.

Tips on purposeful marketing
You are probably all too familiar with the term ‘social purpose’. More than just the latest buzz word in business, we are now living in what is being described as ‘the purposeful age’, but what does purpose really mean for brands, where has it come from and what role does PR play? Purpose is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as, “The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists”. At its core, purpose is all about authenticity and your values. It should form a fundamental aspect of your business and marketing strategy. Its about why you do what you do, beyond making money. Listen to Episode 14 of our podcast, Revitalise & Grow, for even more tips on purpose for business.

Get actionable PR strategy in exchange for less than 30 minutes of your time – welcome to the launch of Revitalise & Grow (its free!)
And so it begins! Today we enter into lockdown 2.0 in England. Once again many businesses find themselves being forced to shut up shop after only just getting back on their feet.

It’s a cliché but it’s true - we got through it before and we’ll get through it again.
