Intelligence & Thought Leadership
Ideas that shape African communications practice.
Insights on AI, media intelligence, PR strategy, and communications innovation from the creator of AGENTPR™.
Most PR professionals cannot answer this question: What data protection law governs the AI tool you used in your last client brief?
Your client's reputation is being shaped by AI right now. And most PR professionals have no documented, enforceable answer to the question: "What data protection law governs how that AI handles personal data?"

Not as an afterthought. Not as a legal checkbox. As a professional obligation.
