Its nigh on impossible to try and sum up the last four months both personally and professionally. Running a business and supporting clients in these unique times, whilst also ensuring KBPR staff are supported, well, guided and happy. And, on a personal level, balancing working from home with continued ‘home learning’ (and I do use that term very loosely in my house), trying to provide a summer holiday for the kids that still has really positive memories and thinking about how, as a business, we continue with our ambitious plans for growth. To all intents and purposes the world of PR has never been busier for those organisations willing to engage. News and stories haven’t dwindled, quite the opposite, there is so much for pension funds and their providers and advisors to think about. And, as ever, times of great change can often provide huge opportunity for innovation and creativity for those organisations that can identify it, and are nimble enough to act on it. We are fortunate to work with exactly these types of organisations. KBPR has big plans but, for now, here is a quick recap on what we’ve been up to. If you aren’t doing so already please do follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn, get involved in our polls and surveys, and please do let us know your thoughts, ideas and suggestions on what you see going on in the world of pension and investments. A last minute special shout out to all the parents who waved their children back to school… the happiest of days… but am I the only one that panics now every time the school ping goes on the phone?? If they close schools again there is a very important conference somewhere far far away.. exempt from lockdown. That I really need to get to.
As always, if you would like to know more about anything in this newsletter or have any feedback, please get in touchhere.
