Doug Simon, President and CEO of D S Simon Productions, spoke with Olivier Fleurot, CEO of MS&L Group at the PRWeek Age of Opportunity conference held in New York City on November 9, 2010 about the growing importance of public relations in a social media savvy world and how MS&L, the flagship specialty communications, PR and events network for Publicis Groupe is rising to meet changing PR demand.


Some of Olivier’s VlogViews:

“If I am in PR today it’s because I see a very interesting possibility to transform this industry and make it even more relevant in the coming years.”

“If you look at the transformation that is happening at the moment between a world where we were pushing messages to a world where now people are creating their own content and choosing which community they want to share ideas with… I think there is a big opportunity (for PR) IF we know how to seize it.”

“I think we have to raise our game. We also have to demonstrate that we can be a lot more proactive because I think in the PR industry we’ve been a bit too passive … we need to show to our clients, existing or potential clients, that we can have very big ideas.”

Julia Hood, Publishing Director for PRWeek. Exclusive: “It’s a Girl!” Recorded at the Silver Anvil Awards.

Some of Julia’s VlogViews:

“PR is taking ownership of the digital land grab…There is a lot of work yet to be done in that area, and yet I think PR is a formidable player in the social media world, and that’s making us stand out of the pack and a force to contend with in the marketing mix in a way that’s never happened before.”

“The professionalism of industry has increased…We’re hiring better, we’re expanding more sensibly…The sheer relevance of PR internally has been so much more ably demonstrated. PR is taking a much higher place in the corporate structure and in the marketing structure.”

“I’m expecting a second child in September….it’s a girl, I have a boy at home, so it’s a nice thing.”
