SINGAPORE, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Institute of Public Relations of Singapore (IPRS) and Notified, the leading investor relations and public relations technology provider, will host a panel discussion on artificial intelligence's impact on the PR industry.

PR professionals face overwhelming data volumes while creating authentic, targeted messaging these days. This panel aims to tackle three key topics:

• How AI transforms raw data into meaningful audience dialogue
• The role of AI in crafting hyper-targeted press releases and personalized campaigns
• Effective strategies for amplifying corporate messages in an AI-driven landscape
  

According to a recent ICCCO World PR Report, more than 70% of PR professionals is already using AI in their daily workflow. However, given that the landscape is constantly shifting with new AI models and features, there remains a significant gap between recognition and confident implementation.

Technology Meets Communication

Notified's integrated platform combines press release distribution, media monitoring, social listening, and measurement capabilities.
