Season’s Greetings from PR Daily
After another year of twists and turns, pandemic setbacks and miraculous vaccines, let’s take a moment to be thankful.
What a difference a year makes.
As I write this year’s reflection, I’m sitting in our downtown Chicago office for the first time in over a year. Ragan Communications is having a holiday party—though not all of our colleagues could attend. It’s a very different feeling from last year, when the annual year-end celebration was moved to Zoom and fingers were crossed for a different kind of year in 2021.
Well, 2021 is almost over—and it hasn’t been the full rebound perhaps we were hoping for.
Yet, there have been miracles. The vaccines have proven to be highly successful in preventing hospitalization and death from COVID-19. Rising optimism about the end of the pandemic in 2022 has many businesses considering a return to in-person events and other activities next year.
We’re having a holiday party. Small things have such meaning.
2021 has also been a momentous year for our readers in the communications and PR profession. We are hearing from you in our many conversations and interviews that your role is more appreciated than ever in your organization. CEOs are turning to their comms people again and again to navigate a changing workplace, and to speak truth amid issues regarding social justice, changing consumer preferences and an increasingly digital marketplace.
