Our very own Peter Wilson has been included in PRovoke Media Innovator 25 for EMEA list! In Pete’s own words “I never set out to be an innovator. But when you see an opportunity to do things more efficiently and more effectively, I found it difficult not to pursue that aim. Obviously change is painful, especially in larger institutions, but I’ve found that, particularly in the era of Gen AI, showing and not telling is really the way to take people with you”. In this industry, innovation is all about encouraging everyone to go on a journey together, and Pete has definitely been leading the way in this. Congratulations Pete 🎉 Take a look at the list, and read more below 👇 https://lnkd.in/ecwcZCZu

Building and protecting a strong country reputation will be central to how governments navigate through geopolitical disruption, economic and trade uncertainty, and climate and humanitarian crises in 2025. To help them, our International Affairs team examined how countries can best define their reputation and use communications to have greater global influence.   ‘Achieving Outsized Impact: Country Reputation in a Disrupted World’ gathered the views of informed audiences in the UK and U.S. on the attributes, characteristics and leadership traits that stand out. Our analysis shows a particular opportunity for mid-sized and smaller countries to increase their influence and effectiveness.   For a preview of our study from Michael Hartt, Head of International Affairs, click through below!   #internationalaffairs #countryreputation #nationbranding #FDI https://lnkd.in/evekBEeQ
