Speaking to PRWeek UK editor John Harrington and journalist Evie Barrett, Ross shares her view on how advertising is evolving to compete with PR, and how the UK’s creativity compares to that of other markets.

She also reveals Mischief’s approach to boosting creativity when it comes to clients issuing mundane briefs, and discusses which PR tropes she’d like to see the back of.
