Andrew Bloch is one of the PR industry's most well-known stars. After fate sent him as a student through the doors of Lynne Franks PR, probably the coolest and most famous PR agency of the 90s, Andrew developed an instinct for building relationships with brands and companies that were going places. Co-founding his own PR agency at the start of the century, Frank PR went on to become the standard by which all other PR agencies were judged. Frank PR has been responsible for some of the most iconic public relations campaigns of the last two decades, working with clients like Nickelodeon, comparethemarket.com, Burger King, Coca-Cola and many other household and consumer brands to become the first PR agency to be crowned “Marketing's PR Agency of the Year” three times. Simply put Andrew and fellow co-founder Graham Goodkind built Frank into a powerhouse PR agency, literally beating off clients with a stick because it was the agency to work with. In 2007, Frank was sold to the listed Australian marketing services group, Enero in a multi-million pound deal, and more recently taken private again in an MBO. And then suddenly, after 20 years, Andrew announced he was stepping back and moving into a NED role at the agency, to take another path and find the time to explore new entrepreneurial opportunities. One of the most fascinating men in PR opens up about his career, his creativity, mental health, working with A-list celebrities, his ambitions and plans as he now finds himself matching clients with agencies through his work at AAR and also advising agencies in the marketing services space on M&A strategies through his work with PCB Partners. You don't often get a chance to listen to this much great PR advice in one sitting as we cover a range of subjects including PR industry growth trends, the PR agencies Andrew admires the most, life with Lord Alan Sugar, great PR clients, the anatomy of an M&A deal, the joys of ruthless efficiency and what happens when influencer deals blow up in your face.

Every six months or so I like to catch up with the shy and reserved Warren Johnson from W Communications on the podcast to talk about the financial state of UK PR.And to my surprise- it's that time again. The first 6 months of 2023 are basically done and dusted.My sense is that it's been a bit of a phoney 6 months or so - the PR sector has been expecting a downturn but beyond a significant tech sector-wide wobble at the start of the year, which has in the main come back, it's been OK, not stellar but OK. And in many cases surprisingly OK.But on the show today we're going to chat about some of the recent league table results we've seen in PR, what constituted good numbers last year, and how the last 6 months have been. We'll also attempt to put some predictions on what might be about to happen next.W has a fee income of £15m, with offices in London, New York and Singapore. It employs approximately 180 people globally and 150 odd in London.A reminder that the final entry deadline for The Creative Moment Awards is Friday 30th June.Thanks to the PRmoment Podcast sponsors, The PRCA.Here's a summary of what PRmoment founder Ben Smith and Warren discussed:3 mins Warren reviews the performance of UK PR in the first half of the year. What's up, what's down, what's flat?“What was quite alarming...was that despite the UK agencies reporting strong growth, they were falling down the international rankings”“We (the UK) are not fully aware of our own demise at the moment and what a second-rate country we're becoming”“UK PR had a strong start to the year… and there is now some preemptive belt tightening client side”Everyone had a strong Q1 with a slight softening in Q2 as the economic outlook, which doesn't get any worse but shows no sign of recovery.”“Overall H1 was relatively robust but we all (PR firms) had to work a bit harder than we were expecting to make those numbers”9 mins Bearing in mind inflation how much did PR firms need to frow last year, to increase their profits?“Our profits grow in line with our revenue…we've not had any challenges in our margin.”“It's something Graham Goodkind once told me - he said he wanted one thing as a KPI for him as a CEO and that's a margin number”“It's harder t maintain that margin than it ever has been, there's been rampant wage inflation and a requirement to offer greater benefits than there ever has been.”“We're big advocates of in-person collaboration so we're doing as much as we can to encourage people into the office but that comes at a cost.”“The other big hidden cost is mental health - which increasingly seems to be sitting away from the government (as a responsibility) and on employers.”“We just rolled out private health care for our company and extended to private mental health care - important to do but these are all costs that chip away at the margin.”“As an industry, we are very good at being inventive…as our margin gets challenged in one area we are able to find opportunities… in certain other areas.”“I certainly get the sense that people are pitching a lot less…pitching is probably the most inefficient thing you can ever do.”“The less you pitch the better…that will hit your margin more than wage inflation”13 mins What do clients want at the moment?
PRWeek UK's Beyond the Noise podcast, which is published on alternate weeks, looks at some of the biggest issues affecting comms and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify or your favourite platform.PRWeek's podcast host Frankie Oliver, who runs the agency New Society, is joined by two industry stalwarts Frankie Cory co-CEO of W Communications and Graham Goodkind founder and chairman of Frank.All three reveal their personal Top and Flops from 2022, as well as their biggest challenges in the last year, and what they've learned over the past 12 months.Goodkind says he's a big fan of the Bounty campaign by Taylor Herring, adding that he loved the impact it has had, mostly because it's such an “unimportant yet divisive” topic.He said: “In the scheme of things, what does it matter? It doesn't matter, but it is the sort of thing that is pure conversation gold… it's fun, trivial and light-hearted. It's not going to change the world but provokes debate and everyone's got their opinion."Both guests said that while Bounty was a great campaign, it was as important that it would have certainly made a significant commercial impact.Meanwhile, Cory said that P&O ferries debacle was her biggest flop of 2022: “There were 800 redundancies. They lost sight of the fact that it involved people, human beings losing their jobs, with something that was done on video conference."Unfortunately, we've seen that pattern repeated throughout the year. But at the same time, we've seen other companies behave much better.”The impact and the media coverage that went on for months made it the flop of the year, she said. Hosted on Acast.

We had amazing Powerpoint presentations!”20 mins Can you track the rebirth or Frank to the Weetabix and Beans campaign?22.30 mins How many brands rung up Frank wanting their Weetabix and Beans moment?27 mins What is Frank today?
