Why is being a part of the PRN a real advantage?    Our member meeting last month took place in Germany and was hosted by the agency Sympra GmbH (GPRA).     🌏 With so many PR professionals from all over the world in one place, we wanted to know: Why did you come all the way to Stuttgart to meet with members of other agencies?    The answer: Because connecting in person creates a dependable network that simply works.

Our member agency EloQ Communications (Vietnam) continues to strengthen its focus on sustainability-driven communication and international collaboration. 🌱🌍    After engaging with female founders across the ASEAN-Australia region, founder and managing director Dr. Tuong-Minh Ly-Le, MPRCA has returned to Vietnam with renewed momentum to advance the agency’s initiatives in sustainability communication.     ELOQ plans to expand its portfolio to support organizations and initiatives working on low-carbon innovation, climate resilience, and sustainable development.    Strategic storytelling can support climate action, responsible business, and long-term behavioural change, especially in regions highly exposed to environmental challenges – Southeast Asia is home to more than 700 million people and among the most climate-vulnerable regions in the world.    📢 This is a strong example of how shared learning and cross-border exchange help elevate sustainability communication beyond local markets. Agencies in our network understand communication as a tool that contributes meaningfully to a more sustainable future and connect perspectives and voices across the globe.    👉 Read more in our latest blog post, you can find the link in the comments.  

🎧 Vietnam’s Podcast Boom – More than a local phenomenon    4.52 million shows worldwide, around 584 million listeners, and a market size of over 38 billion USD – in just a few years, podcasts have become one of the most popular media formats worldwide.    Why? There are several reasons:    🧘 “Slow Media” instead of information overload: In a time when we’re overwhelmed by images, reels, and endless streams of content, podcasts create space for calm, reflection, and genuine attention.     🎙️ Deeper brand connection: Brands can use podcasts to communicate their values through authentic storytelling. Instead of short ads, the format offers space for real conversations that create emotional closeness and strengthen brand identity.    💸 Resource-efficient & accessible: Compared to today’s dominant video formats, podcasts require far fewer technical and financial resources.     What are the driving forces and existing barriers for brands wanting to explore podcasting as a forward-looking and strategic communication channel?     Take a look at the podcast market in Vietnam and read more about the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal context of podcasts in our lastest blog post by Vietnamese partner agency EloQ Communications (link in the comments 🔗)    #DigitalCommunication #PublicRelations #Podcast #FutureOfMedia #Vietnam
