The PR profession continues to evolve

Thanks to Joe S. Epley, APR, Fellow PRSA for kind words and nice article:

"A good example of the bright new stars in the Russian profession is Natalia Gurova, a vice president for the Moscow-based Newton-PR. She sees continued growth in the profession, particularly because more small- and middle-sized businesses are recognizing the value of public relations. “There is a growing need for specialists within the profession, such as analysts, event planners and internal communicators,” she says. “Now everyone is trained as generalist.”

Speaking about communications in Russia

This autumn I've made the presentation for the Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce for Russia and Belarus (CCBLR) in Brussels.
The meeting was rather interesting - I was really surprised by strong interest of European business to Russian market.
As it is told in press-release of our Belgian partners Newton-21 communication group, "an overview of the Russian communication market, its trends, legal environment and communication tools were all covered in a presentation that provided the audience with the essential knowledge required to establish one’s business abroad".

And all the event was held prior to the economic mission  leaded by the Prince of Belgium to Russia that will take place in April 2011.
