Public relations has evolved far beyond traditional media relations.

Today, PR plays an important role in shaping reputation, building trust and helping organisations communicate with the audiences that matter most.

The strongest communication strategies go beyond headlines. They create understanding, credibility and long-term relationships.

How do you see the role of PR evolving?

SHARP Festival 2027 Speaker Announcement: Dave Wedderburn

We are delighted to welcome Dave Wedderburn, Head of External Communications, EMEA at Red Hat, as a speaker at SHARP Festival 2027.

Since joining Red Hat in 2018, Dave has worked across PR, social media, partner communications, media relations and executive visibility, helping position the business and its leaders around issues including AI, digital sovereignty and open source.

His work explores a question facing communications teams everywhere: how can we use AI to move faster without losing the judgement, relevance and human thinking that make communication effective?

Dave also champions a more integrated approach to PR, social and stakeholder engagement, bringing together in-house teams, agencies and partners to create clear, consistent communications.

At SHARP Festival, Dave will bring a practical perspective on navigating AI and a rapidly changing communications landscape while keeping strategy and human judgement at the centre.

We look forward to welcoming Dave to the SHARP Festival community and hearing his perspective on the future of communications.

Great marketing starts with knowing who you're speaking to.

The more you understand your audience, the better your decisions become, from the messages you create to the experiences you deliver.

The strongest strategies are built on:

β€’ Looking beyond demographics.
β€’ Creating value before asking for attention.
β€’ Using customer insights to guide decisions.
β€’ Building long-term relationships.
β€’ Adapting as customer needs and expectations change.

The brands that stand out don't necessarily communicate more, they communicate with greater relevance.

What do you think makes a marketing strategy truly effective?

We'd love to hear your perspective.
