We are teaming up with our principal partner Isentia for another year to bring you the latest research in Aotearoa’s PR industry, followed by an expert panel discussion. Hosted by our wonderful PRINZ members ANZ at the fabulous Auckland offices, we will explore the most significant findings and challenges that were identified in the 2024 PRINZ Member Survey. We will also learn about some of the big challenges facing the global media industry and how they impact the audiences we’re all trying to connect with.

Thursday 6th March 2025 @ 5:00pm - 6:30pm Overview Calling all Tauranga-based PRs – what better way to celebrate nearing the end of the week…

Are you a recent graduate with a degree in Communications or Journalism? Or maybe you're a junior practitioner looking for that next step in your career? This is your chance to gain valuable insights from industry leaders who have carved out successful careers in the communications field. This panel will explore the career paths in communications, the skills you need to stand out, and how to navigate your way to success in this ever evolving field.

Auckland we’re back! Join us for our first First Thursday of 2025 at Queens Rooftop, Thursday March 6, 5-7pm. Please RSVP so we can make sure there’s enough room at the inn!

This workshop balances both the theory and practice involved in identifying and managing issues and crisis situations. The course will enable you to understand appropriate actions before, during and after a major incident as well as provide strategies around communications planning and practical guidance on working with the media and broader aspects of communication in times of crisis.

Kick off your morning with great company at our first Breakfast Mixer of the year!
Join fellow Waikato-based communications professionals to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones, and dive into conversations with others in the industry.

In this interactive online wānanga, we explore how to effectively engage with diverse communities across Aotearoa and beyond to deliver better outcomes for the organisations, stakeholders and hapori we work with.

All organisations have a wealth of data to draw upon to create engaging content, but knowing where to start is a challenge. This interactive workshop has been designed for communications professionals who want to incorporate charts, graphs, and infographics into their content, but do not have a background in statistics. The workshop includes individual and breakout activities to immediately apply what you’ve learned.

Join us for an after work catch-up as we toast the end of a busy summer season.  Open to anyone working in the communications, marketing and public relations industry in Taranaki. A great chance to unwind, network and hear about the year ahead on behalf of the Taranaki PRINZ sub-committee.

Join us for PRINZ Southern’s ‘Learn from a Fellow’ series – featuring two of the industry’s experts!
PRINZ Fellows demonstrate a high degree of competence in the practice of public relations and are nominated based on their significant contribution to the enhancement of the public relations profession. The Fellows will talk about a variety of engagement projects and share key learnings for practitioners gained during their extensive careers. There will also be plenty of time for you to ask questions or seek advice on projects you may be working on!

In the current market, client relationships are becoming more challenging to retain with more competition around and tighter budgets. Building trust and refining your sales skills is imperative to ensure you are still representing your organisation's value and differentiation from other firms. In this member-exclusive breakfast event, you'll connect with fellow industry leaders, assess the sales cycle and how to effectively manage your client relationships, all before 9am!
