California love. Kelliann Amico, APR, Fellow PRSA and Michael Mannheimer had a blast last week at the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) ICON conference in Anaheim! They learned about advances in AI, how to lead with empathy, and tips for navigating a future of unprecedented change. All while networking with hundreds of PR and comms leaders from across the country—and fitting in a trip to “the Happiest Place on Earth." #ICON2024

Serving clients 🤝 serving society In public relations, loyalty isn’t about blind allegiance. It also goes beyond just pleasing the client.  Loyalty is about being a trusted advisor with an eye on the bigger picture. This means sometimes pushing back against short-sighted demands, advocating for transparency and always considering the broader societal implications of our communication.  By embracing this nuanced view of loyalty, we elevate public relations from mere advocacy to true stewardship of public trust. #SeizeTheMoment #PRSA
