Public Relations Global Network

The FIFA World Cup came to Seattle. But the opportunity was much bigger than 90 minutes on a soccer field. Millions of eyes. Visitors from around the world. A global stage that cities rarely get and one that disappears almost as quickly as it arrives. So how did Seattle make the most of it? My Public Relations Global Network partner Abbie S. Fink and I sat down with Peter Tomozawa, CEO of SeattleFWC26, a Fearey client, to talk about what it actually takes to prepare a city for an event like the FIFA World Cup and how Seattle thought beyond the matches themselves. We talked about the enormous coordination that was happening behind the scenes, the opportunity to tell Seattle’s story to the world, and what businesses and organizations did to prepare for the moment. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eJJKUwiT #FIFAWorldCup #Seattle #WorldCup2026 #Seattle2026 #Communications

A good breakfast with, Jordan Jacobs, APR, CPRC, one of our Public Relations Global Network partners here in the States. People assume a global network is about extending reach globally. But the part I use most is partnering with independent agency owners and leaders who tell each other the truth about what's working. We spent the morning on AI (of course), both halves of it. What it's genuinely taken off our teams' plates, and the work it still can't touch, which turns out to be most of what our brand partners pay us for. 🤪 The part we spent the longest on was visibility. We both started by telling brands where they ranked, and now that we have their attention, we’re working with them on how they're being described inside an AI answer they can't see, source or correct. Staying ahead of this is going to define a lot of the next two years for our industry. Couldn’t be happier to be part of a community with partners who've been at it as long as you have and can keep pushing each other to new heights and, as Terrie Ard, APR, CPRC likes to say, new spheres of influence. ☺️ #MakingMoments

I spent a lovely afternoon catching up with Andy See and his wife Gladys Goh- Andy leads the PRGN partner agency in Malaysia. Being part of a global network like Public Relations Global Network is about far more than geographic reach. It's the chance to learn from each other's experiences, swap insights across markets and build relationships with talented people around the world. Those connections help us bring fresh thinking and international perspectives to our health and pharma clients every day. #PRGN #GlobalConnections #KnowledgeSharing #PublicRelations #pharmacomms
