The PRAU National PR Symposium is the premier annual gathering for Uganda’s top communication professionals, corporate leaders, and strategists. Held this year under the compelling themes, “From Strategy to the C-Suite: Elevating PR to the Boardroom” and “Personal Branding for PR Professionals: Positioning for Leadership,” the event aimed to redefine the crucial role of Public Relations in modern governance.

We’re glad to announce that Newman Foods Limited, the home of the Newman’s brand, received a prestigious Certificate of Recognition from the Public Relations Association of Uganda (PRAU) for our contribution to the 4th National PR Symposium 2025!

We value this partnership deeply, as it reflects our commitment not only to quality snacks but also to fostering excellence and strategic communication within the wider business community.

Our support of symposiums like this signifies our belief in the power of strategic, ethical communication. At Newman’s, we understand that Public Relations is not just a function of marketing; it is a core pillar of corporate strategy and governance. Investing in this platform means investing in the professional development of the leaders who shape public trust, manage reputation, and drive national business growth.

The 2025 Symposium was a critical forum for discussing the evolving responsibilities of communication leaders. Key discussions centered on the skills and foresight required to lead businesses into the future:

• Elevating PR to the Boardroom: The central takeaway was the need for PR professionals to secure a seat at the executive table, moving beyond traditional roles to become indispensable strategic advisors.
• Navigating ESG and Digital Transformation: Professionals explored the growing importance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance and how PR leaders must communicate these commitments with transparency. Additionally, there was a strong focus on the need for continuous learning in areas like digital transformation and the effective use of AI tools in modern PR practice.

The appreciation from PRAU is a meaningful endorsement of our philosophy of Impact through Collaboration.

We are proud to stand alongside other key partners who support excellence and professionalism in the communications industry. This recognition strengthens our commitment to the values of integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement that PRAU promotes.

Thank you once again to the PRAU leadership for such a wonderful initiative. We look forward to continuing this vital partnership to build a thriving communication landscape in Uganda!
