About the Summit

Marketing vs PR:
Rivals or Strategic Allies?

Marketing and Public Relations increasingly share common goals — visibility, reputation, engagement — yet they often function in silos, driven by different metrics, timelines, and expectations. This disconnect can lead to misalignment, duplicated efforts, and rivalry rather than partnership.

The Creative Connect Summit 2026 bridges that gap by bringing together Marketing and PR professionals to challenge assumptions, clarify roles, and build frameworks for integrated communication that drives measurable impact. Through panels, interactive discussions, and practical breakout sessions, delegates will explore how these two disciplines can work as strategic allies to elevate brand communication in a complex media landscape.
