#FuturePRoof podcast: Socially Mobile launch

With Stephen and Sarah Waddington

In this latest edition of the #FuturePRoof podcast we discuss:

• Big news as Sarah is awarded a CBE for services to public relations and the voluntary sectors in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.
• The launch of Socially Mobile – we’d love your support and will shortly be recruiting assessors – please watch this space and get involved.
• Research from the National Centre for Universities and Business and the University of Cambridge shows the pandemic has caused a hiatus in R&D and innovation. The findings are a matter for concern considering the necessary role of innovation and R&D as the UK moves to strengthen its position as a global science superpower, as set out in the 2021 Queen’s Speech.
• The lockdown boom for agency startups following publication of the latest Wadds Inc. report.
• The federal government in Nigeria has banned Twitter. It has serious implications for democracy and public discourse.
• The Brandwatch Customer Loyalty Report published in conjunction with GWI is worth a look for retailers wanting to know which issues they should be focusing on in 2021.
• Ethics – the good, bad and the ugly of recent corporate behaviour.
