Why is the site called “the Public Affairs Engine”..?
Because it is named after the guide The Public Affairs Engine, which I wrote in 2020. The guide was based on 500 conversations I had with more than 500 Public Affairs professionals from 2015-2020.
The title of the guide I think encapsulates, what it is, we as PA pros should aim for: build and turn the Public Affairs function into a vital engine that (em)powers and fuels the rest of the organization. I personally believe that we, in the industry, could and should do more to bring Public Affairs out of the reactive, fire distinguisher-role of the 60s and 70s.
If you want to contribute on this site reach out to me via LinkedIn or Twitter.
Thx,
