PRCA Welcomes 11 New Fellows

The Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) today announced the induction of 11 new Fellows, celebrated for their exceptional contributions to the global public relations industry.

These individuals have been honoured for their outstanding achievements and dedication to advancing the field of public relations worldwide. They will join a distinguished group of other recognised professionals within the PRCA's Fellowship.

Chair of Fellows, Alison Clarke, commented: “It’s an honour and a professional pleasure to welcome our newest cohort of PRCA Fellows. All the individuals selected have made exceptional contributions to our profession and uphold the highest standards of practice. I look forward to working with them.”

The newly appointed Fellows are:

“I’m deeply honoured to be awarded Fellowship of the PRCA and to stand alongside such distinguished professionals. Thank you to everyone who has supported, challenged and inspired me along the way. I’m proud to be part of a community that’s committed to raising standards, nurturing talent, championing inclusion and putting people at the heart of great communication.”

"As a working class, comprehensive school educated lad I'm always waiting for a tap on the shoulder and for someone to tell me I don't belong here. This is a tap on the shoulder that's a thrill and an honour to be recognised as a PRCA fellow alongside such esteemed and renowned public relations and communications professionals. I look forward to continuing to contribute to encouraging professional innovation from AI and technology to measurement and evaluation. I welcome the fact I can be part of a fairer, more diverse and more equal PRCA."

“I’m incredibly honoured and grateful to be welcomed as a PRCA Fellow. This recognition reflects the strength and talent of the broader African PR community, which continues to rise and stand tall among global peers. The role of our profession has never been more important, and this honour also acknowledges the leadership across our industry as we collectively drive ethics, standards and good communication.”

“I am honoured to be awarded a Fellowship of the PRCA, and to continue to work with the organisation to showcase the value of the public affairs and public relations industry.”

“It’s a huge honour to be named a PRCA Fellow. Fellowships haven’t always reflected the diversity of our industry, but I’m proud to be part of a broader, more representative group being recognised for their impact. I’ll work within this community to open doors wider for those who’ve been overlooked, and to help ensure that recognition at this level reflects the industry we’re all trying to build: one that is fairer, more inclusive, and genuinely reflective of the society we serve.”

“As a veteran pracademic with decades of leadership across both academic and practitioner communities, I am honoured to be named a PRCA Fellows. I look forward to working with my distinguished Fellows colleagues in drawing on data and evidence from our evolving bodies of knowledge to help shape conversations about the field’s future, champion ethical standards and professionalism, and support excellence in global communication and public relations among practitioners and scholars dedicated to societal betterment.”

“I am honoured to be nominated and receive a PRCA Fellowship. For more than a decade, advocating for women in PR and challenging the barriers they face has been a defining part of my career, and I’m proud to see that work recognised. This fellowship reflects not just my efforts, but the collective progress driven by so many advocates across our industry, ensuring the next generation enters a more inclusive, supportive, and equitable profession.”

“I am thrilled to have been chosen to join the impressive group of PRCA Fellows - it is a great honour, and I very much look forward to networking with the other fellows in this illustrious group.

“PRCA was instrumental in enabling my late co-founder Angela Oakes and myself to get Global Women in PR off the ground some 10 years ago - their continuing support for what we do has been invaluable and it has been a delight working with the team at PRCA over the years as we have grown our global network and created national networking groups of leading female PR professionals around the world. 

“Our objective has and remains to connect, champion and support the women working in our industry. The PRCA has been and continues to be a very important part of our journey. 

“I am delighted to be a PRCA Fellow.”

"I am genuinely honoured and thrilled to be appointed a PRCA Fellow. The PRCA plays a vital role in strengthening our profession, driving standards, and supporting practitioners at every stage of their careers, whatever type of organisation they work for. I’m grateful for this recognition and look forward to continuing to contribute to the PRCA's important work alongside so many other volunteers as well as its brilliant and dedicated team.”

"I am delighted to become a Fellow of the PRCA. It's a great honour. The breadth of public relations and its changing form today means that it is very much a team game. I have worked with many amazing people across the industry, be they clients, colleagues or others, and I would like to thank them for the determination they have shared with me to make our discipline ever more strategic, smart and effective."

“I’m honoured to be inducted as a PRCA Fellow. PR has shaped my entire career, so this recognition is especially meaningful. It reflects the work my peers and I across the PRCA APAC Regional Board and Groups are committed to — raising the standards, respect and real business value of Public Relations for agencies and in-house teams. I’m grateful for the chance to give back to an industry I love and look forward to collaborating with other Fellows to advancing it in a way that is strategic, responsible, inclusive and genuinely impactful.”
