More than 40 agencies turned out for the first meeting of new industry body The PR Council last night.
The PR Council is being created by The Communications Council to represent the interests of consumer PR agencies after complaints that the long-established Pubic Relations Institute of Australia was failing to do so.
Around 70 people turned out for the meeting, PR Council chairman Stuart Gregor told Mumbrella. Gregor, who is also boss of Liquid ideas, said: “It was a terrific turnout, with every person showing an expression of interest to join. There was a fantastic atmosphere with everyone wanting to do some great things. I think there will be some tremendous opportunities to come out of it.”
Gregor said that the PR Council is not seeking to repalce Pria, with many of those present willing to be members of both organisations.
“This is about working with brands – it’s a brand communication representative body.

Stuart Gregor: new PR Council chair
The Communications Council has launched a PR arm – a move it says will not replace the existing public relations industry body, the Pria.
Comms Council boss Margaret Zabel told Mumbrella: “The intention is not to replace the Pria. Not at all. What we can offer Australian consumer PR agencies is complimentary to their current membership plans.”
Pria: 'will not be replaced'
“We would like to think that PR agencies have a strong and prosperous relationship with both groups,” she said.
The group is to be run by Liquid Ideas boss Stuart Gregor as chairman.
“The idea has been in the works for some time,” said Zabel. “The marcoms industry has become increasingly integrated, and there’s a need to represent the interests of consumer PR agencies.”
The Pria’s CEO Jon Bisset told Mumbrella that while there would be “overlapping interests” between the two bodies,...

The Communications Council has opened talks with several of Australia’s biggest public relations agencies with a view to the organisation widening its remit to include PR, Mumbrella can reveal.
If the move takes place, it would raise questions about the position of the Public Relations Institute of Australia, which is currently the main PR industry body.
Mumbrella has learned that around a dozen PR agency bosses met with Communications Council CEO Margaret Zabel on Friday. She presented them with a vision for what the organisation could do for PR agencies including representation and training.
The talks began as a result of criticisms of the Pria expressed in a Mumbrella video interview with the management of PR agency Mango late last year.
Drewry: Impressed
The comments of MD Simone Drewry and managing partner Claire Salvetti about the remit of the Pria and their criticisms of its Golden Target awards triggered...
