Podcasts about Public relations

This episode goes behind the polished words of Buckingham Palace to unpack the public relations machinery that managed the downfall of Prince Andrew.In October 2025, King Charles III formally removed all of Andrew's titles and evicted him from his Windsor residence.On the surface, it looked like accountability.But beneath the royal phrasing lay a carefully timed communications plan.We'll walk through the anatomy of that plan: how one resurfaced email reignited the scandal, how two precisely timed statements reframed it, and how the Palace's language turned a personal disgrace into an institutional act of duty.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

They all got the PR treatment in this episode.  Farzana Baduel, David Gallagher, and Doug Downs peel back the media layers behind some of the week's most buzzworthy stories, from Bill Gates' controversial “climate realism” memo and its impact on corporate sustainability narratives, to Amazon's AI-framed mass layoffs and what that messaging means for employer branding.  They also take a wildly entertaining detour into Italian politics where ex-lovers are facing off at the polls, with leaked documents and social media drama in full swing.  Add in royal baseball cap faux-pas and you've got a sharp, witty, and deeply PR-savvy breakdown of the week's biggest headlines. Listen For:58 Is Bill Gates backtracking?

Frau Goethe liest (FGL)"Wir dachten, das Leben kommt noch" von Elisabeth Sandmann – Rezension(Hördauer ca. 9 Minuten)Elisabeth Sandmann gelingt mit Wir dachten, das Leben kommt noch ein feinfühliger Roman über Mut, Loyalität und die Last des Schweigens. Zwischen den Fronten des Zweiten Weltkriegs und den Nachwirkungen im Jahr 1990 entfaltet sich auf zwei Zeitebenen ein Netz aus Erinnerung, Schuld und dem Wunsch nach Wahrheit.Eine Rezension von Heike Stepprath.Sprecherin Heike StepprathHat Ihnen diese Rezension gefallen, mögen Sie vielleicht auch diese Sendung.Schnitt: Jupp Stepprath, Realisation: Uwe Kullnick Ich heiße Heike Stepprath und blogge unter Frau Goethe liest. Vor wenigen Jahren habe ich mich zum Studium von Public Relations entschlossen und das mit meiner Vorliebe zur Literatur verbunden. Mein Bücherregal ist mit Belletristik, Krimis, aber vor allem historischen Romanen gefüllt. Lesen ist bei mir eine Tagesroutine, die auch an stressigen Tagen unbedingt dazu gehört. Rund 120 Bücher lese ich jährlich und davon werden 80 rezensiert. Zum Austausch mit anderen Lesebegeisterten nutze ich liebend gerne Leserunden, Blogtouren, und Interviews. Artikel und Berichte über Veranstaltungen ergänzen das Thema rund ums Buch. Häufig habe ich Gelegenheit, Autoren zu treffen und mit ihnen Podcasts aufzunehmen.

In this exclusive interview with Eric Yaverbaum, CEO of Ericho Communications and author of the definitive bestseller Public Relations for Dummies. Yaverbaum dissected the central paradox in marketing today: why are major brands rejecting AI in their advertising, even as the tech industry pours billions into automation? Yaverbaum explained that this “anti-AI” trend is not a technological rejection, but a highly strategic public relationsmove. It's a response to a deep-seated crisis of consumer trust and a sophisticated way to achieve competitive advantage in a hyper-digital world. The Core Paradox: Consumer Trust and the Anti-AI Trend Yaverbaum asserts that while AI promises efficiency, public sentiment reveals a massive gap between corporate adoption and consumer comfort. Consumer trust in AI is low, with many expressing anxiety over deepfakes, job displacement, and data misuse. * Public Sentiment: Brands like Polaroid and Heineken are actively responding to this skepticism. For example, Polaroid's viral slogan, “AI can't generate sand between your toes,” taps into a public yearning for tangible, human-produced experiences and authenticity. * Strategic Rejection: Rejecting AI is the smartest new counter-cultural marketing strategy. It positions a brand as authentic, human, and a champion against digital fatigue, creating an immediate, clear competitive distinction in a crowded market. The PR Crisis Connection: Labor and Trust A significant driver of the AI marketing backlash is the negative news cycle connecting rapid automation with mass layoffs (e.g., Amazon's cuts). * Distancing the Brand: Brands using "human-made" campaigns are intentionally distancing themselves from the negative labor narrative associated with rapid automation. This is a crucial PR move to maintain a positive ethical image and soften the perception of C-suite-driven cost reduction. * Credibility & Misinformation: The proliferation of deepfakes makes the promise of human creativity a non-negotiable asset. For consumers struggling to discern real content from AI-generated content, a brand that explicitly champions human effort becomes a trustworthy, credible harbor. Crisis Management: The 'Public Relations for Dummies' Tactic Drawing from his expertise, Eric Yaverbaum offered essential crisis communications advice for companies facing a PR nightmare (e.g., an AI mistake or layoff fallout): 1. Lead with Human Value: Pivot the narrative back to human contribution and transparency. 2. Take Meaningful Action: Sincere apologies are insufficient. Companies must demonstrate concrete steps to invest in their human workforce and stakeholders. 3. No Empty Promises: Every public decision must align with stated core values to prevent hypocrisy accusations that can destroy long-term reputation. Future Outlook: Will Public Sentiment Slow the AI Boom? Yaverbaum concluded that the backlash has the power to reshape the conversation, forcing companies to be more cautious and transparent about their use of automation. While the momentum of the technology itself may be too great to stop entirely, this shift in consumer behavior and preference will force a necessary industry-wide correction, making authenticity the most valuable asset in the modern digital economy.

We live in a moment where artificial intelligence can write our emails, plan our meetings, even give us life advice. But here's the problem: these systems are often too agreeable for our own good. They're less like truth tellers and more like digital echo chambers. They nod along, validate our choices, and tell us exactly what we want to hear. To use an outdated term… GenAI is too often like a Yes Man.In this episode we're looking at the rise of sycophancy in generative AI, the tendency of machines to flatter us instead of challenging us.

Featuring:Shane Arman, SVP, head of US Sports, Allison WorldwideIn 2010, many comms pros studied “The Decision” — LeBron James' highly anticipated announcement of which team “he'd be taking his talents to.” Fifteen years later, he had everyone on pins and needles awaiting “The Second Decision,” which ended up being the launch of an ad campaign with cognac brand Hennessy. Many had opinions on this, more critical than complimentary. During conversation with PRWeek's Gideon Fidelzeid, Arman opines on what the fallout would likely be for James and the brand. In doing so, he highlights what comms pros can take away from this episode.And that is just the start of this game. The WNBA. Emerging sports leagues. NILs. Pickleball — we know you're playing it.

An Taisce Green-Schools is bringing its energy theme back to primary and secondary schools across the country this academic year, thanks to its continued partnership with EirGrid, operator and developer of Ireland's electricity grid. Plans for this year's programme were unveiled at an event in Adamstown Community College, Dublin, with plenty of exciting events due to be held across the country over the coming months to enable young people to expand their awareness around energy conservation. To date, over 3,000 schools have been awarded the energy flag since the beginning of the Green-Schools programme in 1997. In the last academic year, 2,200 students and 123 schools engaged in events including regional workshops consisting of hands-on activities, artwork and experiments, which allowed them to learn more about where electricity comes from and how they can take steps to reduce energy consumption. Speaking at the relaunch, Suzanne Collins, Head of Public Relations with EirGrid, said: "We are once again proud to partner with An Taisce Green-Schools for its energy theme, reaching students in classrooms across the country as they address energy consumption in their schools and communities. "It has been so inspiring to see the engagement in the theme over the last academic year, and shows the impactful steps young people are taking in bringing about sustainable changes in everyday life. "EirGrid is proud to play a continued role in empowering the next generation as they lead the charge in energy awareness." Joanne Scott, Green-Schools Programme Manager, added: "We are delighted to relaunch the Energy Theme to schools, and are thankful that EirGrid's support is allowing us to continue with this fantastic initiative. "From our engagement with students through our previous energy workshops, there is no doubt young people are enthusiastic about leaving a positive impact on their community, and the energy theme provides and invaluable opportunity to empower them to reduce energy consumption and be part of the conversation. "We recently awarded the Green Flag to Scoil Éinne, An Spidéal, for their outstanding work on the energy theme, and we look forward to working alongside more schools as they continue their journey towards achieving their own Green Flag." During the 2023-24 school year, schools saved a combined 18 million kWh of electricity, enough to make 58 million cups of tea, due to their participation in the Green-Schools programme, proving that interest in energy is strong among Ireland's school children.

Scott Kaier makes his second appearance on the show today. You can his first vist way back on episode 232 in August 2020. As President of Formidable Media, Scott helps a select group of clients build their brands globally through tailored marketing services—public relations, custom content, paid media, and social support. As Senior VP at Green Threads DPP, Scott also leads efforts around the EU's upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) legislation, guiding companies through compliance and integration. His specialties include textiles, sustainable materials, performance fabrics, and the outdoor industry. Show Notes You ever have that moment where you realize you've been playing the game backwards? That was me, mid-career, sitting in a glossy outdoor brand office with beautiful gear… that nobody wanted to write about. What Happened: I didn't come from some Madison Avenue ad agency. I started in bike shops — greasy hands, mismatched gear, and an obsession with adventure. I wasn't chasing media hits, I just wanted to be around people who got it. Fast forward a few years, I'm deep into PR for top-tier outdoor brands, working with media, crafting stories, and yet… I'd see some products completely flop in the press while others (less exciting, in my opinion) stole the spotlight. At first, I took it personally. Like, why aren't they seeing the story here? But here's what I learned: the best stories aren't the ones brands tell about themselves — they're the ones that resonate. Principle: Outdoor brands often fall in love with their products, not their audience. They get caught up in their idea of what's newsworthy, forgetting that real stories aren't about features — they're about connection. And connection comes from authenticity, timing, and meeting people where they are. Transition: Most outdoor brands are struggling not because they don't have great gear, but because they're telling stories no one is listening to. The market has changed. What worked in the golden age of trade shows and glossy magazine spreads doesn't fly in today's fragmented media world. And while your product might be sustainable, your message might not be. That's why this week's podcast episode is such a wake-up call for brand leaders trying to stay relevant. Scott Kaier dives deep into what the outdoor industry gets wrong (and right) about media, storytelling, and brand strategy — and what's coming next with EU digital product passports and sustainability compliance. Call to Action: Still wondering why your product isn't getting the attention it deserves? That's the pain. Getting ghosted by media, confused by content trends, feeling like your message gets lost? That's the agitation. Scott's been on both sides — agency and in-house — and he shares the mindset shift that changes everything. That's the solution.

In this episode of Grit & Gravitas, Anne and Anne sit down with Kait Gillis, Owner of Nour Coffee, and Sara Firestone, VP, Community and Public Relations, Members 1st Federal Credit Union, for a conversation that blends business with deep purpose.   Inspired by her daughter, Nour, who has Down syndrome, and driven by the reality that over 70% of people with disabilities are unemployed, Kait built a workplace where individuals with neurodiversity and typically developing peers work side-by-side, serve the community, and find belonging.    “I couldn't change who Nour is because Nour is a perfect, beautiful angel, but I could try to fix the world for her a little bit,” Kait shares. With a strong financial relationship and support from Members 1st, Nour Coffee has become a true third space, sourcing from local, small businesses and now Kait has launched a nonprofit, Nouri's Place, to foster social connection and family resources.   The conversation covers growth and grit beginning with Kait's path from Wall Street to workforce inclusion, to business vitamins about staffing and product standards that match the mission. You'll also hear about recognition from PA Governor Josh Shapiro and First Lady Lori Shapiro, and Kait's invitation to join PA's Workforce Development Board. As Members 1st proudly watches Nour flourish, Sara says, “I have the good fortune of seeing the good that's happening in our community every day.”   “I think as more folks are exposed to the benefits of employing somebody with a disability, the timeliness, the desire to work, the never calling off, never showing up late—it's really beautiful,” says Kait.

Some of the best conversations I have with my kids are during filler time. Not the quality time you hear hyped up – just a side conversation over breakfast, or driving to an errand, or putting together Ikea furniture.Marketing and public relations can be the same. Instead of focusing all this attention on forcing a customer to take an action, give them value in other ways and naturally bring up your product. Like this episode's guest's story about selling insurance by bringing owls and foxes to schools.  It's not an aggressive sales pitch, it's the side conversation.Which is why a key lesson for this episode's guest is – ‘don't underestimate the soft sell.'To hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories, I talked to Kelly Coulter, head of marketing, Private Advisor Group [https://www.privateadvisorgroup.com/].Private Advisor Group has $35.2 billion in advisory assets under management.

Is attention the new currency? Politicians, brands, influencers, even your neighbor's viral TikTok are all competing for the same scarce resource: your focus. But attention is slippery. It can make you a household name overnight and it can vanish just as quickly. In an age where algorithms decide what we see and artificial intelligence rewrites how we discover information, the fight for attention has never been more intense.What happens when public relations and communications agencies find themselves at the same crossroads media once faced? How do you win attention when the competition is everything else in the feed? How do you turn fleeting visibility into lasting credibility? And how do you build narratives that not only go viral but endure?Listen For5:14 What is attention as a commodity in PR?8:48 How has the attention economy changed branding?11:22 What can PR learn from politics?14:05 Are we paying too much for lost attention?17:51 Are attention spans shorter or content louder?18:53 Answer to Last Episode's Question from Richard BagnallGuest: Mark Lowe, Third CityWebsite | Email | X | Instagram | YouTubeRate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteApply to be a guest on the podcastConnect with usLinkedIn | X | Instagram | You Tube | Facebook | Threads | Bluesky | PinterestRequest a transcript of this episodeSupport the show

I would encourage those who dream to also do. Judy Lewis is my guest this week, and she doesn't follow paths; she creates them. An inductee into the Marketing Hall of Legends and co-founder of Strategic Objectives alongside her sister Deborah Weinstein, they have redefined what it means to build with purpose. Their campaigns have received every PR honour, as well as recognition from the United Nations for promoting social change. Judy shares her story and how vision, grit, and a simple “What if?” mindset enabled her to leave the corporate world and establish one of the world's most respected public relations agencies. Stay tuned for my three key takeaways, and then ask yourself, What if I applied Judy's lessons in life to my own life?   To find out more about RBC's Women of Influence Awards:  https://www.womenofinfluence.ca/rbc-cwea/

The call for better measurement in public relations is not new. For decades, leaders in the field have warned that counting impressions, likes, and advertising value equivalents is not enough. Yet here we are, still leaning on the same empty numbers while the C-suite is asking for proof of outcomes that matter.  The urgency has been with us for years, but too often the industry has not listened to its own advice.  We aren't listening to ourselves! Now, as budgets are cut and communications teams risk being sidelined, the pressure to finally get measurement right has never been greater. Richard Bagnall is recognized as one of the world's foremost experts in PR measurement, past chair of AMEC, and co-creator of the Integrated Evaluation Framework. He has worked with global organizations from NATO to the World Bank and continues to remind practitioners that vanity metrics will not protect their budgets or their jobs.  Listen For4:48 Why does PR measurement matter now?7:27 What are outputs, outtakes, and outcomes?11:41 How do you measure with no budget?14:05 What is “crawl, walk, run”?18:40 Jonathan Mast's answer to last episode's question?Guest: Richard BagnallX | LinkedIn   Rate this podcast with just one click Stories and Strategies WebsiteCurzon Public Relations WebsiteApply to be a guest on the podcastConnect with usLinkedIn | X | Instagram | You Tube | Facebook | Threads | Bluesky | PinterestRequest a transcript of this episodeSupport the show

And communications know if you've got 15 priorities, you have no priorities. When setting priorities, it has to be a clear way to say yes and to say no. If it doesn't give you the ability to say no, then it's not really helping you set a strategy.” — Amy Dunham“You can't have good communication or public relations strategy without messaging. They're in lockstep together.” — @JasonMudd9“To really stand out in PR, whatever you're doing, is to make sure you're saying things that are provocative, contrary, and have a unique point of view from what everybody else is saying because otherwise, you're just going to blend in and not stand out.” — @JasonMudd9“It's not a conversation about ‘I know better' versus ‘you know better.' It's much more about ‘Here's what the data indicates, and now here's the flexibility to be able to use it in the way that works best in your market.'” — Amy Dunham“It's really through the lens of ‘How can I add value in a way to enable their work?' rather than to direct how things should get done.” — Amy DunhamIf you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to share it with a colleague or friend.
