Mark and Comm backs Sri Lanka's National Public Relations Summit as Platinum Sponsor

Mark and Comm (Pvt) Ltd, Sri Lanka’s boutique strategic PR and communications agency named Rest of South Asia PR Agency of the Year 2025 by Campaign, served as Platinum Sponsor of the National Public Relations Summit 2026 (NPRS 2026) held on 18 June and organised by the Department of Mass Communication at the University of Kelaniya.

- 

The summit brought together academics, practitioners, media executives, and government communicators to examine the current state of PR education and professional practice in Sri Lanka. The occasion marked a decade since the University of Kelaniya introduced PR and Media Management as an academic discipline, the first state university in the country to do so.

Mark and Comm has spent the past several years arguing, publicly, that the PR industry in Sri Lanka cannot strengthen itself by staying inside its own conversations. The agency’s managing director Thanzyl Thajudeen, who was instrumental in connecting Sri Lanka with the rest of the world in the PR sphere through representation of PRCA, the world’s largest PR body, was also among the panelists discussing the practice, following an invitation from the head of the department, Senior Lecturer Dr. Manoj Jinadasa.
