The purpose of tenders is to support the selection of the right partner based on a validated professional background, competencies, and limited trial tasks. However, current practice often looks different: clients request complete strategies, detailed action plans, and creative solutions without remuneration, with tight deadlines and incomplete briefs. This is not only detrimental to agencies, but also impairs the quality of clients' decisions, ultimately hindering the selection of the most suitable agency partner. This problem is not unique to Hungary; it has been discussed internationally for years.
2026 is a watershed moment for corporate communications: reputation has never been more valuable, trust has never been more fragile, and artificial intelligence has never had such a profound impact on what information consumers and decision-makers see first. In this complex environment, PR is no longer just a complementary tactic—it is a strategic business function that directly impacts growth, risk management, and long-term competitiveness.
The sudden departure of SAP Hungary’s managing director, and the scandal that unfolded around it, once again highlighted that crisis management requires more than quick reaction. Thoughtful, well-structured and consistent communication plays an equally critical role. Without it, a company’s reputation can suffer long-term damage. This case also shows that ambiguity and vague wording often cause greater harm than the initial crisis itself. The aim of this article is not to detail the events at the company or to speculate, but to illustrate the challenges of managing a crisis rooted in organisational culture and structure.

When employees feel they are the last to know, they start looking for the exit. In our latest study, 61 % of people thinking about changing jobs said poor internal communication was a leading factor. At the same time, only 23 % of the global workforce is engaged at work, while the productivity drag from disengagement costs a typical S&P 500 company up to US $355 million every year.
One of the most important yet often underestimated keys to successful corporate communication is insight. But what exactly does this term mean, and how can it make our communication relevant, credible and motivating for the target audience?
The digital communication landscape is constantly changing: content production is accelerating, while trust in information is declining. In this challenging environment, brands must understand how to speak authentically, build connections and earn long-term trust. Péter Szatmári, Professional Director at FleishmanHillard, addressed these questions in his presentation at the joint workshop of Kreatív and FleishmanHillard Budapest titled “Compass, Not Magic – Why Insight Is the Real Key to Communication Success.”
Having left the Café Group last year, formerly known as Café PR, the team, which has won multiple domestic and international professional awards, has finally left the past behind and renewed itself. Under the name FleishmanHillard, they continue to work as one of the largest international communications agencies in Budapest, operating as an independent office. Complemented by new business lines and backed by experienced senior colleagues, they offer a renewed, modular range of services that has made them a recognized player in the market over the past 25 years.
Influencer collaborations have come a long way over the past decade, ever since brands first recognised the value and impact of individuals with large, engaged audiences — those who influence and shape their followers’ decisions. Although these collaborations often sit on the borderline between different agency disciplines, we frequently use them as PR tools due to the broad range of opportunities they offer. Recent years have shown that simply placing a product next to a well-known person in a static photo is no longer enough. This approach feels “advertisy,” prompting followers to scroll past. If influencers post too much of this type of content, it can even damage their credibility in the long run.
We revisited a fundamental question — why we work with a partner — and asked ourselves, even on the busiest days, how we truly support them. These reflections led us to recommend our client PlanRadar’s Hungarian expert as an interviewee for one of the most prominent online business media outlets in Hungary.
Our cooperation with Wallis was both about profession and development. We worked with the group's companies for 15 years. This partnership has been one of the most valuable areas of learning in our 25 years, it has been one of our most important lessons: as leaders and as organizations, we have learned a lot from it, and it is still part of our identity.

If the text is alive, it affects you, it captivates you. If it creates a world, like Árpád Göncz did in The Lord of the Rings. If you want to read it again, underline it, note down one of its masterfully striking sentences, like in Zoltán Pék's translation of Moon Palace (Paul Auster), for example. Or if it is so brilliant that it surpasses even the original, like Mici Mackó by Karinthy.
