Andras Sztaniszlav, the strategic communication consultant, has been elected as Vice Chair for CIPR International, one of the largest groups within the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR). He has been a member of the association for three years and working in the committee for over two years. He is the first Hungarian CIPR Accredited Practitioner. As vice chair and events lead, he is a part of a team in charge of organising international editorial visits, lectures and webinars and the group’s first international conference, ’Global PRactice’, which will be held on 5th May, 2017, in London. In the last two years, he was a jury member of the Hungarian Kreatív PRizma Award and the ICCO Global Award, as well. Andras is a founder and MD for PersonaR Ltd, a corporate communication consultancy.

"When I founded the company, my goal was to offer bespoke consultancy based on international corporate communication practices in addition to the traditional management consultancy methods," says Andras Sztaniszlav. "In the last 3-4 years, since I’ve been working abroad, I see that our work has paid off and now we are working with international clients, too. As the vice chair of CIPR International, I am involved in several projects, building up a global network which will be beneficial for the quality of our consultancy services, as well."

PersonaR recently published #snaPRshot, a short report about the Hungarian PR market which is available on their website and they are planning to cover other countries in the future, too. They also launched a monthly newsletter, in which they muster up international thought leadership pieces in six core areas of PR communication. 

"In response to quick changes observed in recent years­­ we elaborated a portfolio, which can support companies in achieving their communication goals. Obviously, it doesn’t mean that we support our clients only in these six core areas, but we identified the importance of immediate solutions and best practices. So we are eager to see what the following 12 years hold for us, says Sztaniszlav, reflecting on the recent 12th anniversary of PersonaR.
