Podcast appearances and mentions of Rachel Friend

Every year in New Zealand, around 5,000 children are born prematurely. Some of these babies come into the world as early as 23 weeks into pregnancy and weigh as little as 500 grams. These tiny new-borns face a tough battle for survival and often need to spend a long time in neonatal intensive care units. While doctors and hospitals take care of their medical needs, there's often a missing piece: the comprehensive support that parents and families require to navigate the many challenges that come with premature birth. Stepping in to fill this important gap is the Little Miracles Trust. This organisation offers crucial assistance to families dealing with the intricate practical and emotional aspects of premature births. While medical professionals focus on the babies' health, Little Miracles Trust provides the essential help that parents and families need to handle the unique challenges that premature birth brings. Meet Rachel Friend, the CEO of the Little Miracles Trust, who joins Purposely to talk about her organisation's story and her own experience as a mother of a prematurely born child. Rachel's journey has been quite remarkable. She used to work in the corporate world, but her path took a new direction when she became a mother. This personal experience motivated her to transition from her corporate career to leading a charity. Rachel's shift in focus was driven by her own real-life challenges. She had to navigate the complexities of caring for her son, Rueben, who was born prematurely. This experience gave her a deep understanding of the difficulties and emotions that parents of premature babies go through. This understanding and empathy are crucial in her role, where she ensures that her organisation provides the right services to support others in similar situations. A central part of their mission is to guide parents through the often-challenging journey of premature birth while offering comprehensive support in various forms. Many members of the Little Miracles Trust team, like Rachel, have first-hand experience with this journey, which gives them a deep understanding of both the practical and emotional challenges involved. Their primary focus is on supporting parents whose infants require neonatal intensive care within specialised units in New Zealand. The main objective is to ease the burden and lessen the traumatic impacts on these families. The scope of assistance they provide is wide-ranging, encompassing the sharing of information, as well as practical, financial, and emotional aid. In addition to their direct support for families, the Trust also contributes to the advancement of neonatal-related medical research. This commitment lays the groundwork for innovations that have the potential to positively impact the lives of both prematurely born infants and their families. Rachel's journey goes beyond just overcoming challenges; it stands as a testament to resilience and compassion. Her transformation from a mother grappling with the uncertainties of premature birth to her role as CEO of the Little Miracles Trust highlights the remarkable ability to turn adversity into a catalyst for positive change. Rachel's unwavering dedication to her mission has sparked a ripple effect of increased awareness and support, inspiring numerous families to find hope even in the face of adversity. As the Little Miracles Trust looks toward the future, their determination to expand their influence remains steadfast. Rachel's leadership has played a crucial role in guiding the organisation's growth; however, she is due to stand down from the CEO role at the end of the year (2023) and transitioning to a trustee role on the board. Rachel will continue to play a role in the Trust's strategic direction, while a new CEO takes the helm to oversee daily operations and guide their future services. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mark-longbottom2/message

On the show today I'm talking to Warren Johnson, chairman and founder of W Communications about the state of the UK public relations market at the moment.W had a turnover of £10m in 2020 and despite the COVID economy, it had its most successful H1 ever in the second half of 2020. Warren appointed Rachel Friend as W’s CEO in July 2020, so 9 months in, it seems like a good time to catch up about how things have changed at W.Before we start, just to say thanks so much to the podcast sponsors, the PRCA.Here’s a summary of what Warren and I discuss:1 min Why there’s been a lot of big pitches over the last few months, specifically in Q4 2020.4 mins Why Warren is surprised that more businesses are not seeing now as an opportune time to “land grab” market share.6.30 mins “Advertising/creative agencies modus operandi is to make TV ads and while everyone gave up watching (ads) a few years ago, we’ve suddenly had to because it’s either that or go for a walk.”7 mins “We’ve seen a re-emergence of a newer breed of creative agencies.”9 mins Why W hired a lot of PR people last summer but in a very different way.12 mins Why we’re about to enter a period of wage inflation in PR.13 mins Which clients have W won in the last 6 months?15 mins Warren gives an update on how W has changed since Rachel Friend joined as CEO in July 2020.19 mins Warren talks about W’s M&A strategy, exclusively revealing that W has appointed a head of M&A who has a “long shopping list...and a decent war chest.”20 mins Warren reports on W’s international revenues which are now between 10% and 20% of the business’s revenues.24 mins New York has been a tough place for UK consumer PR shops to launch - why should W be any different?27 mins "PR of all industries thrives on interaction, creativity, collaboration and you just can’t do it on Zoom, I don’t care what anyone says.”28 mins “The idea of having ambitious, high growth businesses, and having it enshrined that people only have to spend half the time in the office, it’s certainly not the way I think we could run our business successfully.”29 mins “We’ll offer more flex on start and leave times, I think that's the thing that will improve people’s lives much more than working from home.”30 mins “There will be several tracks of career development: A lot of people have decided that they like to work from home because it suits their lifestyle...I think that shows a lack of ambition.”“There are other people who thrive on the hustle and bustle of the office and the adrenaline and you can’t replicate that at home, and they are often slightly more ambitious people.”

Tonight: Why the NRA was cheering the defeat of an assault weapons ban in Boulder—the day before the Boulder shooter bought his. Then, the bumper crop of Trump Republicans vying for the senate grows by one. Plus, how the hack lawyer who sold the big election lie is now changing her tune after being sued for defamation. And Rep. Jamie Raskin on the bizarre Republican arguments against D.C. statehood. Guests: Fred Guttenberg, Rachel Friend, Heidi Heitkamp, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Marc Elias, Lee Gelernt

Former Weber Shandwick London CEO Rachel Friend joins Maja Pawinska Sims on the PRovoke podcast to talk about her twin new roles and priorities as CEO of award-winning consumer agency W Communications and as the incoming chair of the Public Relations and Communications Association.

This week, we're starting a new series called PR Reset, where I'm catching up with the CEOs of some of the UK's most prominent PR firms to talk about how they see their business, the PR world and the wider economy resetting post the Covid-19 lockdown. First up, we've got the founder of W Communications Warren Johnson. Frankly, Warren’s on even more punchy form than ever! Here’s a summary of what we discussed: 2.12 mins How Warren has managed the coronavirus lockdown crisis for W. 2.50 mins Warren describes the first week of lockdown as “the worst of his professional career.” 2.52 mins How Warren and his FD had to renegotiate “something like 42 client contracts in the first two or three weeks” of lockdown. 3.20 mins How he saw his “job as trying to make sure money didn’t leave (W Communications) for good.” 3.40 mins How W took an “aggressively commercial approach to its cost base” during the lockdown. 3.52 mins How W’s “EBIT didn’t take much of a hit during the lockdown, but revenues were 8-10% down.” 4.16 mins Warren denies that W was spending £4K a month on cereal, beer and flowers pre-Covid. And how not being in the office actually “saves a vast amount of money”. 07.05 mins Why being independent and being able to make quick decisions helped W during this period – for example getting out of the office before lockdown started reduced a lot of costs. 07.48 mins Why W has not reduced any of W’s staff salaries during lockdown, but instead took this as an “opportunity to trim the herd a little bit from some underperforming staff.” 08.10 mins W has brought in new CEO inn Rachel Friend (she started 1 July). Why did Warren decide that now was right the time was right to bring in an outsider into that position? 08.46 mins Warren explains he wants “W to be an agency as big as Weber, I don’t know what that looks like, so I need someone who does.” 08.59 mins Warren says: “There are very few people that we can work in partnership with. but when I put that list together, Rachel (Friend) was number one on that list.” 09.35 mins Warren says independents have had a better lockdown than the group owned forms because of their agility. 10.15 mins Warren predicts a two-speed recovery for the PR sector: “the better operators are already back on their A-game” 10.45 mins Warren says: “There is a slight nanny state evolving where people believe they need to be as far away from the office as possible.” 10.58 mins Why after three months of working from home people need to come back into the office to collaborate. 11.04 mins “Zoom is not the right format to be creative.” 12.11 mins Many PR firms are looking to return the office in Sept – but W returned to the office from 1 July in a “beta” phase. 13.51 mins Warren’s “fog of lockdown has already lifted” and why he’s “keen more people experience that.” 14.09 mins How W’s employees were about “a third, a third, a third” when it came to their keenness to return to the office. 14.34 mins Most of the employees who were concerned about returning to the office were worried about the travel. 15.17 mins Some of W’s younger employees have given up flats in London and have moved back to their parents’ homes. 16.55 mins Warren says he’s “not sure whether we (W) can be in a position where we can have people working remotely permanently...s o that is going to present a few problems.” 17.05 mins PR people, especially junior PR “people have become overconfident in their sense of job security”. 18.05 mins This should be a

The champion Australian leg spinner, Stuart MacGill. Now, I’d probably be happy to devote more of this podcast to cricket, but I’ve held off because I wanted to speak to a cricketer who thinks a little deeper about life and the world than your average test legend. In cricketing terms, Stuart was an incredibly gifted leg spin bowler who turned the ball a mile and had a brilliant test average, and who just happened to come along at the same time as the greatest of all leg spinner bowlers, Shane Warne. But MacGill never tried to compete with Warne. Warne was all bravado and glamour – whereas MacGill held his emotions in check. The facts are that MacGill is the seventh quickest in history to get 200 wickets – getting to the milestone faster than both Warne and the all time greatest wicket taker, Muttiah Muralitharan. Outside of cricket, Stuart’s a voracious reader – famously reading 42 novels on a tour of Pakistan. He is politically aware – once boycotting a tour of Zimbabwe because he wasn’t comfortable with the Mugabe regime. In 2000, he married the Australian actress Rachel Friend and the couple, who separated in 2013, have two children together. Since he retired in 2008, he’s hosted a TV show about wine and been a coach for hire. He’s had a few public ups and downs, but now he’s getting back to a good place and I encourage you all to follow his witty and polemical Twitter account @scgmacgill.   Socials Twitter - Adam Zwar / Stuart MacGill Facebook - Adam Zwar / Stuart MacGill   10 Questions with Adam Zwar is produced in party by Nearly.
