Communications careers are evolving. Are you ready for what’s next?
The communications profession is changing.
Audiences are more fragmented. Organisations face growing scrutiny . Trust is harder to earn, and AI is transforming how we work.
The result? Organisations need communicators who do more than produce content. They need strategic advisers who build trust, engage stakeholders, manage reputation and help leaders make decisions.
Join the CPRA ACT Local Network and HorizonOne Recruitment for a panel discussion exploring the future of communications careers and how you can position yourself for success. Our panel brings together leaders from three different perspectives of the profession:
- Abbie Azzilla – Principal Consultant, HorizonOne Recruitment
Providing insights into current recruitment trends, the capabilities organisations are seeking, and how candidates can position themselves in an increasingly competitive market.
 - Bevan Hannan – General Manager Communications, Services Australia
Sharing perspectives on communications careers within the Australian Public Service, the capabilities required to succeed and how government communication is evolving.
 - Kate Lord – Founder and CEO, Akin Agency
Offering an agency perspective on the changing expectations of clients, emerging skills and opportunities across consulting and strategic communications.
Together, our panel will explore:
- How communications careers are changing
- The capabilities employers value most
- Future career opportunities
- Practical advice for building a successful communications career
Following the panel discussion, join us for networking drinks and the opportunity to connect with fellow communications professionals from across Canberra.
Whether you’re early in your career, looking for your next opportunity or simply interested in where the profession is heading, this event will provide practical insights to help you prepare for what’s next.
