A brand’s reputation today plays out not only in the pages of ‘ The Economic Times’, or on a CNN News 18 telecast but also on Facebook status updates by customers. And in between these two points are a wealth of ‘influencers’; from credible bloggers to bought distributors of information to mainstream journalists and brand representatives such as Anand Mahindra who are influencers in turn.

Not only do they feature the latest thinking by brands via the in-house communication leads, but also give a platform to the next generation of PR professionals by featuring speakers from the 30 under 30 PR community. Very well organised, highly professional and great speakers.  A PRmoment conference is always a great learning experience.”
