Issue 52  

WelcomeWelcome

On a personal/professional note...

Dear reader,

The news is out... I will take on the Presidency of the International Public Relations Association for 2021 and am really humbled to receive the trust of my peers.

It will not be a simple task to succeed to Svetlana Stavreva and the other Presidents before me, but I will continue their work to keep IPRA international, inclusive, ethical and diverse.

I strongly believe in what I wrote recently:

This is the new tool for your arsenal

Infograpify - the graphics & presentation library

Silly name but still - Infograpify is an extensive library of presentation templates, icons and graphics which will allow you to speed up your creative process.

What does it do?

The library has well over 3000 "infographic" templates which are all editable and searchable by topic. The screenshot above is one of the results you will get when searching for "risk" in the database.

The principle is simple - log in, download what you need in different formats and adapt to your needs.

PR Application?

We all have to make these stunning, clear and persuasive presentations from time to time, right?

Having access to a library of professionally pre-designed graphics and complete slide sets will save you hours of fiddling around with settings and design features.

While I still like to make my presentations personal and my own, these templates allow me to quickly get my story arc ready and then concentrate on the content rather than the graphics.

All the infographics included in the library are full vector files, meaning that they are extremely high quality, remain editable at all times, and any element can be changed, at any time.

I use Keynote but the file types are compatible with Powerpoint, Google Slides, Adobe and Photoshop. And of course you can change colors with just a few clicks and deliver on-brand presentation designs.

Price?

  • They have a special going on for a single user and a payment of $49 for lifetime access and all future updates.
  • 5 users (let's say your team) will cost $199 - one payment for lifetime access and all future updates.

Works with?

English, but your content can be in other languages, of course.
