Having welcomed 300 visitors through its doors, the event, which was created from a LinkedIn post by Lee, highlights the level of creative talent working in the sector. “There are many incredibly creative individuals lurking in different areas of comms,” said Lee.

“A showcase for artists in the PR sector is long overdue. Artists often have day jobs, and this exhibition gathers some of the incredibly talented, dedicated and inspiring artists from the world of PR. The Art of PR [has provided] a platform for the Picassos of publicity and the Michelangelos in media relations for the first time.”
