Leo XIV: disarming words

Today marks the first anniversary of Leo XIV's election as head of the Catholic Church.

PROA Comunicación brings together the new Dircom Board to analyse the role of the Dircom in an environment of uncertainty.

PROA Comunicación has organised a new edition of its Current Affairs Dialogues with the participation of Joaquín Mouriz (BNP Paribas Personal Finance), Fernando Geijo (Prosegur) and Patricia Peiró (Takeda), which addressed the strategic role of corporate communication in a context marked by uncertainty, the need for...

The adviser and his reputation

In the economy of intangibles, reputation is no longer a soft asset: in Spain, for 44% of directors of listed and unlisted companies, reputation is equally or more important than traditional financial criteria. A good board reputation acts as an inverse risk premium:...

The day the message ceased to obey

In April 2017, a passenger was forcibly ejected from a United Airlines plane. He was dragged down the aisle while other travellers filmed the scene with their mobile phones, which, today more than yesterday but less than tomorrow, constitutes in all the world's communication manuals...

Improvisation is not a strategy

This is what Julia Montoro, director of PROA Comunicación, a strategic consultancy firm specialising in reputation, communication...

In defence, legitimacy also counts

Defence, like other strategic sectors, moves today in a space where industry, innovation, public policy and social sensitivity converge and sectors in which growth does not depend solely on investing more, innovating better or gaining size.

The most beautiful caress

Last week I had to give a talk to a group of managers in the water sector on communication and the future of journalism.

Lucía Casanueva, PROA Comunicación: «Initial silence is almost always the best ally of the parallel trial».»

The first 72 hours decide almost everything. When the acquittal comes years later, Google has already indexed the fake news, LinkedIn has repeated the narrative and the reputational damage is very difficult to repair. And yet, many clients and lawyers still opt for silence as a first response....

Forgive me for not apologising

In Spain hardly anyone apologises any more, but everyone does. Politicians, businessmen, celebrities... and even those who still don't quite know what they are supposed to apologise for. They appear to clarify, to contextualise, to explain, to regret... and, if necessary, to say that they could have...
