Recruit, develop and performance‑manage the global PR team to build a high‑performing cross‑cultural function. Establish effective working mechanisms between headquarters and regional PR teams to align global strategy with local execution. Conduct post‑campaign reviews, document proven playbooks and replicate successful practices across geographies.
