Being part of the MEPRA strategy and SMIC boards for over 3 years has not only brought value to me personally as an agency owner and team lead, but also to the people within my team themselves, who benefit from the regular training courses that MEPRA offers. StickyGinger has expanded its network through both in-person and remote board sessions, as well as building relationships with other owners and MDs through the strategy meets and of course, the MEPRA Awards. Being a part of the MEPRA network allows me to bring valuable learnings about the industry, benchmarks of success, and best practice for diversity, equity and inclusion structures to my senior team – as well as benefiting from a connected regional talent base, and opening up new collaborative opportunities.

In a region as dynamic and diverse as ours, MEPRA plays a critical role in bringing together the full breadth of the PR and communications industry from agencies and in-house teams, to independent consultants, academics and future practitioners. What truly sets MEPRA apart is its commitment to genuine community creating spaces where knowledge is freely shared, collaboration is encouraged over competition, and standards are elevated across borders to deepen connections, foster new voices, and help drive the future of our industry together.
