Dear PR Net Community,

Miami Art Week kicks off next week, and we’re excited to share our annual Art Basel roundup -  one of our most-read guides each year. We’ve sourced recommendations from insiders across the art, culture, and luxury worlds to help you navigate the fairs, exhibitions, events, and must-see moments across Miami.

 

In a timely complement, we sat down with Sara Fitzmaurice, founder and CEO of FITZ & CO, as the agency marks an incredible 30 years. From helping launch Art Basel Miami Beach to advising some of the world’s most influential cultural institutions, Sara reflects on the evolution of arts communications, the shifting media landscape, and the agency’s role in shaping global cultural dialogue.

 

We also recap our webinar, 'How to Select a Brand Ambassador,' a session designed for navigating the increasingly high-stakes world of talent partnerships. With perspectives from Elaine Shui of Whalar, Kirsti Yess of Ethos Group, and Jessica Nguyen of Sony Electronics, the discussion unpacked how to evaluate audience alignment, values fit, reputation risks, and long-term brand strategy.

The PR Net Digital Event Recap: How to Select a Brand Ambassador

Choosing the right person to represent your brand has never been more critical. From A-list celebrities to microinfluencers, we’ve all seen how the wrong fit can quickly turn into a headline-making misstep. 

 

In this webinar, we heard from three industry leaders who shape brand-ambassador strategy from distinct vantage points: Elaine Shui, Head of Client Services at creator and social agency Whalar; Kirsti Yess, Co-Founder of entertainment and sports communications agency Ethos Group; and Jessica Nguyen, Senior Specialist of Influencer Marketing at Sony Electronics. They broke down what truly matters when selecting a brand ambassador—from audience fit and values alignment to risk management and long-term planning.
