Rediscovering the fast-paced world of Public Affairs with Keith Marnoch, ABC
|
Naila Abdullayeva, 2016 Communications Committee member
In a world of perpetual connectivity and instant communication, staying ahead of trends and on top of current events are essential skills for today's communicator. We spoke with Keith Marnoch, Director of Media and Community Relations at Western University and he provided some insight into his fast-paced world of Public Affairs.
A Public Affairs practitioner is considered to be the media expert in most institutions, with responsibilities ranging from media outreach, to issues management and crisis management. Every day presents something new, and a practitioner will find themselves in situations where they are expected to perform under pressure.
"These situations can be the most rewarding, as they put the practitioner's abilities to the test," he says."The biggest challenge I think practitioners face is the range of responsibilities they are expected to balance in day-to-day tasks. I spend a lot of time trying to see into the future.I have to determine when a story will get the best play, hope people react to it, and try to keep stakeholders up to date in a timely fashion."

Jo Ann Johnston, IABC London President-Elect
The new brand was officially launched at the June 2015 IABC World
Conference - the first re-branding initiative for the international organization in its 45-year history.
But just like any brand, the new look is about much more than a new logo. It is a restatement of the values IABC shares with you, its members.
IABC connects members to ideas, job opportunities and people through profe
ss
ional learning and a culture of sharing. With thousands of members worldwide, representing diverse industries, sectors and disciplines, we are a community of knowledge, experience and support.
Having said that, the new logo
is
the identifying mark of the IABC brand and the redesign of our own chapter logo was carefully considered.
