Omnicom Public Relations

Live from The Female Quotient lounge in Davos, Omnicom Public Relations CEO Chris Foster shares his views on keeping authenticity alive in storytelling in the age of algorithms.

Omnicom Public Relations was back in the The Female Quotient lounge at Davos to discuss Reputation in the Age of Algorithms and why empathy is a critical leadership skill today. CEO Chris Foster and Emma Chalwin, Chief Marketing Officer at Workday, explored how modern reputation management relies on the right balance of technological performance and human judgement. The panel shared how empathy has guided them as leaders, and explored the powerful potential of empathy at scale. Thanks to Vanessa M. Buenger, Head of Creative Strategy & Partner Solutions at The Female Quotient, for moderating a great conversation.

At the World Economic Forum, Omnicom Public Relations hosted our annual lunch for communications leaders. The conversation creates space to discuss the forces transforming our industry including geopolitics, AI, the changing workforce, stakeholder pressure and a shifting media landscape. Thanks for PRWeek and Steve Barrett for your partnership and to everyone who joined us for a rich discussion.

Omnicom Public Relations is excited to be back on the ground for The World Economic Forum connecting with clients, colleagues and partners to discuss the forces shaping our world today and what it takes to lead in a volatile environment. The week kicked off at Inkwell beach where Chris Foster, Omnicom PR CEO, spoke with entrepreneur Ericka Pittman and Jason Harvey, EVP at BET+, about how cultural influence shapes reputation, moderated by OPR Chief Client Officer Avra Goldstone Lorrimer. The panel offered insights for leaders navigating the intersection of culture and reputation and advice for businesses on how to engage in a meaningful way, including Chris Foster's perspective, "For organizations, culture isn't something you manage, it's something you participate in." Thank you to Cannes Can: Diversity Collective for making space for powerful conversations.

Reputation risk isn’t hypothetical. It’s now discoverable - at scale, and in seconds. AI doesn’t just accelerate content. It accelerates scrutiny. From deepfakes to data dredging, algorithms now expose reputational vulnerabilities long before the media - or your stakeholders - do. What’s exposed isn’t always intent. It’s inconsistency. That’s why Reputation Readiness has become the new enterprise standard. It’s not a message. It’s a system: where leadership, policy, operations, and communications align to earn scrutiny - not avoid it. OPR CEO Chris Foster explores what this means in practice: The Future of Reputation Is Readiness, Not Control. #Reputation #ReputationReadiness #Communications #PublicRelations

Political campaigns don’t win on airtime. They win on their ground game. Door to door. Message by message. Block by block. Reputation works the same way. You don’t earn the benefit of the doubt with a press release. You earn it through the conversations, platforms, and decisions that unfold in real time - often far from headquarters. Reputation is shaped at the edges and often lost when companies assume they can helicopter in and control the narrative. In his latest article, Chris Foster breaks down what it takes to actually win the reputation ground game. What to watch. What to integrate. And what happens when you stop managing reputation and start operationalizing it. Read Chris' latest article. 👇 #Reputation #ThoughtLeadership #PublicRelations #PublicAffairs

In an age where AI can generate stories in seconds, Chris Foster reminds us of a vital truth: AI can tell a story, but it isn’t a storyteller. At PRAXIS 2025, he challenged communicators to see storytelling not as craft, but as strategy itself. Because in PR, the story is the strategy - the organizing force that moves markets, builds alignment, and earns influence. This is a moment for the industry to recognize its power. PR professionals aren’t behind the scenes. They’re behind the strategy. 🎥 Watch Chris’s keynote as well as the fireside chat with Arun Sudhaman  to see why storytelling remains the most human - and most strategic - advantage we have. https://lnkd.in/grup_Q8f #PRAXIS12 #Keynote #Storytelling #PR #PublicRelations #Earned #Leadership
