Jolyon spoke alongside notable names from the industry such as Paul Holmes, Founder of the Holmes Report, which organizes the one of the world’s largest and most sought after public relations awards competitions, the SABRE Awards, and Christina Gallach, Spokesperson and Chief Media Advisor of the High Representative of the European Union for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), Dr. Javier Solana. Following his speech Jolyon was nominated to join the organising committee for Forum Davos 2011.

“This conference was a great success and I think the organizers have tapped into something here in Davos,” said Kimble. “We shared a lot of expertise, particularly about the deployment of new and social media techniques, the importance of CSR and the developing sophistication of political communications.

“Next year I think the focus has to be around the criticality of comms in boardroom decision-making, and how we make the case for that. The industry still has a long way to go there. I look forward to working with the organizers to help them raise the profile of the conference,” he said.
