    Description of impact

    CIPR principles and assets shared with students on MRes Design, MA Luxury Brand Management and BA Fashion Communication programme, as part of teaching of Public Relations techniques, strategic leadership practices, ethics, tactics and tools. The Membership and my investment and access to CIPR resources, network and content sharpens my own industry understanding, brand management acumen and PR / Marketing knowledge. This feeds directly into teaching students, enhancing their employability prospects, designing 'live' briefs for UG students, how I can supervise and enhance MRes and MA students learning, and also the impact directly into the originality of my own research, published at global conferences, in international journals and academic books, and therefore impact as shown in the subsequent REF rating.
