PERHUMAS joins hands with industry partners to foster development

The Public Relations Association of Indonesia (PERHUMAS) has signed agreements with the UK-based Association for the Measurement and Evaluation of Communication (AMEC) and Maverick Indonesia, respectively.

This marks the first collaboration between PERHUMAS and AMEC, formalised through an MoU signed by PERHUMAS Chairman, Boy Kelana Soebroto and AMEC CEO & Global Managing Director, Johna Burke. As outlined in the MoU, PERHUMAS and AMEC have agreed to form an industry partnership involving knowledge exchange and best practices in strategic communication, to co-host a minimum of two joint webinars annually - including one during AMEC Measurement Month in November - to mutually promote each other’s events and initiatives across their communication channels, and to offer exclusive access to AMEC training and certification programs for PERHUMAS members.

The second agreement, between PERHUMAS and Maverick Indonesia, was signed by Maverick Indonesia’s Managing Partner, Ong Hock Chuan.

Ong emphasised the importance of measuring communication impact for modern organisations. “As communication practitioners, we’re often used to old ways of measuring success, but the world is constantly evolving - and we need to evolve with it. We believe that through collaboration with PERHUMAS and the strong network this organisation has, the communication industry can begin adopting frameworks for measuring impact that are more relevant and aligned with the times.”

Boy echoed, “This MoU is part of our strategy to realise our commitment to elevate the public relations profession in Indonesia - making it more professional, measurable and aligned with today’s challenges. Together with AMEC and Maverick, we aim to empower communication practitioners to demonstrate the strategic value of their work through systematic measurement and evaluation.”

“We are thrilled about this partnership”, Johna added. “PERHUMAS, as the largest PR organisation in Indonesia, is a strategic partner that can help expand the understanding and adoption of communication measurement principles in Southeast Asia. This collaboration reflects AMEC’s global commitment to advancing higher standards in communication measurement worldwide.”

Current Global MENAT fetches new pet care business win

Current Global MENAT has been appointed as the PR partner for Paws & Co., a new pet care, health and wellness business preparing to launch in the UAE.

The agency will lead the brand’s launch in the UAE, supporting the business’s ambition to create a connected pet healthcare ecosystem.

Peter Jacob, Managing Director, Current Global MENAT, said, “As a father of two dogs, I know first-hand that there isn’t a shortage of vets. With Paws & Co., this isn’t simply about another entrant into the market. Paws & Co. is founded on the idea of changing how people think about pet healthcare and building a brand and an experience designed around the needs of pets, pet parents and veterinary professionals.”

Matt Butterworth, Co-Founder Paws & Co. said, “For many pets and pet parents, the current process is fragmented, reactive and clinical yet the way people see their pets has changed, and frankly the veterinary experience hasn’t evolved at the same pace. From the beginning, we wanted to rip up the institutionalised playbook and build a pet healthcare experience that feels different. Pets are family, and their care should be personal, consistent and reassuring. In Pete and the Current Global team we have a partner that gets us and understands our intention and wider growth ambitions.”

TEAM LEWIS introduces integrated AI platform

TEAM LEWIS has launched version one of its AI operating system, Orbital (OS1), as part of its global offering. The platform is designed to connect insight, creativity, messaging and public-facing delivery.

Orbital combines data from across public relations, customer relationship management, paid media and web activity. It is structured around three pillars:

Intelligence
Orbital works with each organisation’s own data and context to identify the signals influencing reputation, demand and AI visibility.

Creativity
The platform helps teams turn insight into creative work, while preserving marketing judgement and originality.

Delivery
Orbital supports the people representing an organisation, spanning media interviews, keynote presentations and leadership moments.

Fairil Yeo, EVP of AI & Growth at TEAM LEWIS, said: “The advantage increasingly lies with organisations that can act quickly on what they already know. Orbital is designed to shorten the distance between insight and action - helping marketing and communications teams work more effectively across markets, channels and teams.”

Chief Operating Officer at TEAM LEWIS, Yvonne van Bokhoven, added: “Technology can connect information, but it cannot replace judgement. Orbital gives our specialists a clearer view of what matters, more quickly. The decisions - and the responsibility for making them well - remain human.”
