Hi LinkedIn, Welcome to Week 6! This week in my Public Relations Ethics & Professional Responsibility course, we’re exploring how organizations respond to crises and discussing whether we think they’re handling things appropriately. Here’s a screenshot of Abercrombie’s recent response to backlash they’ve been facing. How do you think they did? What would you have done differently?

Our founders Firgas Esack and anneli lort established DAPS as an agency for good, which is why ethics are so important to us as a business, be that how we operate or the type of clients with whom we work. Ethics are the bedrock of effective PR. It's about transparency, authenticity, and responsibility. - Transparency ensures openness and honesty in communication, fostering trust with stakeholders by providing accurate information and disclosing potential conflicts of interest. - Authenticity demands genuine and sincere communication, aligning messages with organisational values to cultivate meaningful connections and loyalty. - Responsibility extends beyond legal compliance, and as PR professionals, it's up to us to consider the broader societal impact of everything we do on behalf of our clients, advocating for change where we can. Ethical lapses can have profound consequences, damaging reputations and eroding trust. Prioritising ethical practices isn't just morally right—it's essential for the long-term success and credibility of PR efforts, ensuring integrity in every interaction. #pr #pragency #prforgood #ethics #ethicalpractices
