This extended guest episode was recorded as part of our season 2 finale. In this episode, we are joined by two titans of television and entertainment PR who are generally all-around nice guys. Sam Hodges and James MacLeod started their PR career at the BBC together working on shows such as Strictly Come Dancing. They have gone on to have top comms roles at ITV, BBC, Netflix, Channel 4 and Twitter between them.  During our conversation, we talked about what it is really like being at the top, moving a headquarters outside London, making the decision to switch industries from TV to tech, failure, reality TV, Ofcom and the most important question of all, how do shows get picked for Gogglebox.  At the time of recording the podcast, James MacLeod had stepped down as Communications Director at Channel 4, and remained as an advisor on the government's new consultation relating to the broadcaster's future ownership and its review of public service broadcasting. James started his career at the BBC as a publicist and then later joined ITV, leaving there as Head of Press, Broadcasting.  Sam Hodges is a director at Aaqua. He has been the  Head of Communications at the BBC , and Twitter, the Director of Content Comms at Netflix and a partner at the agency Freuds.   Studio Lambert https://www.studiolambert.com/shows.html  Pregnancy Loss Policy https://www.channel4.com/corporate/pregnancy-loss-policy Menopause Policy https://www.channel4.com/corporate/menopause-policy  Future4 https://www.channel4.com/corporate/future4  BBC's Alex Scott ‘proud' of working class accent after peer's elocution jibe This article is more than 2 months old: Lord Digby Jones accuses Alex Scott of spoiling Olympics coverage by dropping her ‘g's https://www.theguardian.com/inequality/2021/jul/31/bbc-alex-scott-proud-working-class-accent-digby-jones-elocution    @jamesmacleod https://twitter.com/jamesmacleod?lang=en  Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/jamesmacleodcomms  @SamHodges https://twitter.com/SamHodges  Linkedin:  https://uk.linkedin.com/in/samhodgescomms    Season 2 of Have You Got 5 Minutes?

Trigger Warning: We do discuss fertility, baby loss and miscarriage in this episode. Feel free to skip it and listen to some of our other episodes, we more than understand. Harriet & Rebecca     In this episode, we talk about the fact that our business public relations, marketing and corporate communication is a people business. Working with people and understanding how to manage relationships is a core part of what we do. Knowing how to do that well can only be a good thing.     Our guest this week, is Emma Gilmartin, Head of Social Media & Student Comms at the University of Glasgow. We start by talking to  Emma about her podcast, Hopes & Dreams Podcast which she started after experiencing baby loss and her own journey with fertility and wanted to use her skills as a communicator to create something to help others. With many large organisations and agencies introducing leave policies for staff who experience a baby loss such as John Lewis and Channel 4 we ask what needs to happen next.    There's No Such Thing As “Soft Skill” - Simon Sinek https://www.linkedin.com/posts/simonsinek_theres-no-such-thing-as-soft-skills-activity-6785644886205992960-uTsL/  John Lewis Partnership launches new support for working families and young people leaving the care system https://www.johnlewispartnership.co.uk/media/press/y2021/jlp-launches-new-support.html  Channel 4 Pregnancy Loss Policy https://www.channel4.com/corporate/pregnancy-loss-policy   Find Emma  Twitter @embrooksy8 https://twitter.com/embrooksy8?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor  Hopes and Dreams Podcast Twitter @HopesDreamsPod https://twitter.com/hopesdreamspod?lang=en  Hopes and Dreams Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-hopes-dreams-podcast/id1562027218    Season 2 of Have You Got 5 Minutes?

For our Season 1 finale, we bring you a special with Government Communications specialist David Pembroke, who also happens to be known to many in Rugby as ‘Pemby', the communications advisor and most trusted confidant to England Coach Eddie Jones.  David has had a riveting career as a broadcaster, marketer, director of communications and now agency CEO. For 25 years, he has led, Contentgroup, one of Australia's top communications agencies specialising in government and public sector communications but with a range of corporate clients.   Before setting up the Contentgroup, David was a journalist with ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and the Communications Director of Australian Rugby Union. He served as a communications advisor to the Australian Olympic Committee and served as an advisor to The Brumbies for several years.  This is a conversation about more than sport or government communications. It is one about career longevity, the future of the communications professional, being a trusted advisor, failure, decision-making, and storytelling.   In 2020, David set up the GovComms Institute and ran the inaugural GovComms Festival, a 24-hour communications conference with 170 speakers delivering over 100 hours of content to 1,569 attendees from 17 countries.     David Pembroke @davidpembroke Contentgroup https://contentgroup.com.au/  Eddie Jones's most trusted confidant: the man who took on haka  https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/inside-the-mind-of-david-pembroke-eddie-jones-s-confidant-and-how-they-control-narratives-dghrv2xt6  My Life and Rugby: The Autobiography by Eddie Jones GovComms: The Future of Government Communication https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/govcomms-the-future-of-government-communication/id965019427     Find Rebecca:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/rebecca7roberts https://twitter.com/threadandfable   Linkedin: Rebecca Roberts  Website: https://threadandfable.com/ Podcast: The Hear It podcast    Find Harriet: Twitter: https://twitter.com/HarrietSmallies   Linkedin: Harriet Small Website: https://www.commsoveracoffee.com/

In this episode, we talk about brain fog and why it's such a problem. Honestly, we're feeling it and thought it was important to talk about it. As PR, Communications and marketing pros, we need to be switched on, but we're also living through a pandemic that is affecting our minds and memory.    For our 5 Minutes, we have a chat about brand banter (or “brandter”). In recent weeks, Aldi and M&S have had an interesting exchange on Twitter. But aren't the first. We've seen brands across every sector do it and about several issues. Sometimes, the jovial tone that brands use does cross the line, and there are dangers.    Brain fog: how trauma, uncertainty and isolation have affected our minds and memory by Moya Sarner https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/apr/14/brain-fog-how-trauma-uncertainty-and-isolation-have-affected-our-minds-and-memory?  The social biome: how to build nourishing friendships – and banish loneliness by  Moya Sarner  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/mar/24/the-social-biome-how-to-build-nourishing-friendships-and-banish-loneliness  Colin vs Cuthbert: Aldi winning media attention over M&S was a piece of cake https://www.creativemoment.co/colin-vs-cuthbert-aldi-winning-media-attention-over-m-s-was-a-piece-of-cake  One Minute Briefs - tried to have fun with M&S Ombles https://www.bankofcreativity.co.uk/blog/omb-ombles  Brand banter - timing is everything by Lisa Hale  https://www.prweek.com/article/1707745/brand-banter-%E2%80%93-timing-everything  KFC's latest stunt is pinching other brands' slogans

We share why brands and businesses need to get insight from consumers and employees, even if it is painful to hear at times.
