In a world that craves instant gratification, the allure of ready responses generated by AI is undeniable. It’s no secret AI can help analyze vast data sets, provide us with a clearer view of a company’s communications landscape, and kickstart ideas that enable us to tailor strategies that drive business results.    However, an effective communications strategy requires more than just algorithms. In O'Dwyer's Public Relations News August 2024 Financial and Professional Services PR Magazine, Ken Kerrigan, APR, SVP and co-lead of our Professional Services practice group, explores how the heart of strategic communications lies in the nuanced interplay of data, human judgement, and experience.     As PR and communications professionals, we must approach AI as a tool, not a substitute for strategic thinking. By combining data-driven insights with human expertise, we can craft communications strategies and be a trusted partner as we help clients achieve their business goals.     Read Ken’s full story on page 16 here: https://bit.ly/3yrhdg2 #PublicRelations #Communications #Innovation #GenAI

In our business, individuals often find themselves coaching or counseling clients across the C-suite. It can be intimidating. Every leader in our firm has been there and has grown immensely through trial and error. As part of our commitment to continuous learning, The Bliss Group plans frequent agency-wide Learning & Development sessions to brush up existing skills and learn new ones.
