Crisis, Clients, & Controversy - Navigating Brand Risk in the Digital Age. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than the truth and reputations can be built — or destroyed — at the speed of a tweet, how can professional service firms protect themselves? In this timely episode, co-hosts Rob and Jonathan sit down with Rod Clayton, Head of Risk and Advisory (EMEA) at Weber Shandwick, to unpack the evolving landscape of brand and reputation management. Rod brings over 30 years of crisis management experience, helping global firms and their leaders navigate the complexities of digital influence, media scrutiny, and the increasing weaponisation of information. Together, they tackle pressing questions: - Why traditional, reactive approaches to reputation management no longer work. - How law firms and professional services are increasingly conflated with their clients' actions. - The dangers of "no comment" — and when silence can be more damaging than speaking out. - How AI is amplifying reputational risk, and why firms must prepare for deepfakes and disinformation campaigns. - The critical role of proactive brand defence, crisis simulations, and internal training This is a must-listen for firm leaders, communications teams, and professionals who understand that in today's digital-first world, reputation isn't just an asset — it's key to survival.

On the PRmoment Podcast, we catch up with UK public relations leaders and today we're chatting with Current Global CEO George Coleman. It's a timely discussion as we seem to be celebrating a few PR firm birthdays recently, so this is the latest in our unofficial “Birthday” Series as Current Global celebrates five years of existence!Current Global was born out of Weber Shandwick. It now has a reported fee income of over £35 m and about 300 employees globally, with about 30 in the UK.It describes itself as a multidisciplinary PR firm that works in corporate, healthcare, technology, and consumer sectors. It's an interesting example of a pretty young PR firm coming out of a holding group (in this case, Interpublic) and doing quite well. Over the past five years, most of the holding groups have mainly concentrated on merging their PR firms, not launching new ones!Clients include Microsoft, Novartis and FedEx.If you're listening to this podcast, it probably means you are interested in updating yourself on the challenges and opportunities that the future of public relations will offer. With that in mind, do take a look at our latest PR Masterclass: AI in PR. It's a cracker!Also, thanks so much to the PRmoment Podcast sponsors the PRCA.Here is a summary of what George and PRmoment founder Ben Smith discussed:2 mins Is Current Global one of those large, mid-sized global PR firms that many of our listeners might not have heard of?3 mins George gives a brief history lesson on how and why Current Global came about.“For us, it (the merger) was a positive, forward-looking move.”“If your reason to merge is to save money, that is a more difficult brief.”10 mins George talks about what it's like being a global CEO of a PR firm based out of London, when the US is the largest market for Current Global.“40-50% of my time is billable…I love the job… It's less about operations and the admin and more about doing great client work.”18 mins George reflects on the challenge of running a PR firm across global markets. “Culture is an expression of connection.”21 mins How have the complicated geo-political environment and the complicated societies that we seem to now live in impacted the type of work that PR firms do?“There seems to be an ongoing process of polarisation in public discourse fuelled by social media. Traditional media plays less of an influential role in creating that common ground, that understanding. A lot of our discussions are becoming more polarised, more tribal…We (society) can't even agree on facts."“Communications sits in the middle of that.”25 mins Brands face a challenge in leading conversations at the moment in this era of increased polarisation.27 mins “The importance of what we do has never been greater.”28 mins George reflects on how he thinks AI will impact the PR agency model over the next 18 months.“There are two ways AI is going to transform public relations…”“We've had ten years where search has been king. With AI, that dynamic changes.”35 mins What do global PR clients want currently?38 mins Why George believes that we're seeing a fundamental change in the PR agency: employee relationships. 42 mins George talks about the need for the PR sector as a whole to make its communications more accessible, reminding us that much of the tech you already have access to can transform the accessibility of their communications to a broader r

Welcome to the PRmoment Podcast. On the show today, we're chatting with Michael Murphy and we're going to talk about Michael's guide to buying, selling and growing your PR firm.Michael is an advisor and non-executive for a range of PR firms. Notably, he's helped WE since 2014. He also currently works with Coverdale Barclay, Alfred, and Lodestone, amongst others. Previously, he was CEO of APAC and CEO of International at Weber Shandwick from 1993 – 2000, CEO of Trimedia International from 2004 – 2009 and Global CEO of Grayling from 2009 – 2013.Before we start, a plug for our new subscription training service for senior folks within agencies' PRmoment Leaders. The line-up of speakers for the first semester is now complete. Do take a look - I think you'll be impressed!Also, thanks so much to the PRmoment Podcast sponsors the PRCA.Here is a summary of what Michael and I discussed:2 mins What advice would Michael give to PR agency owners who are thinking of selling their business?“Most business owners believe their business is worth more than it often is…many have inflated ideas of their worth.”“No offence to the trade media, but often the maximum possible price (the earn-out figure) is talked about as the price in the (article) headline.”“I know lots of agency owners who have sold their business and it has been a success. I know others where it has been an unmitigated disaster. You have to remember, you're giving up your baby. You're giving up your freedom. “You're likely to only sell your business once in your life, so you better get it right.”6 mins Why do PR agency owners want to sell their businesses?“The (PR agency) market is littered with small and medium-sized firms.”“You need to build around you people who will challenge you.”“PR is a tough game. If you don't enjoy it - get out.”12 mins What are PR firms' owners' exit options? Who are their likely buyers? Michael gives us an insight into the advantages and disadvantages of each.“There's never been a better time to sell your business. There is so much interest in the sector. So much money.”13 mins What's the rough ratio to profit that PR agency owners can expect to get upfront, compared to what they get in an earn out?“The cultural fit of who you sell to is at least as important as the cash.”“Private equity is much more prevalent in the sector than it used to be.”PR owners exit options are:Trade buyersPrivate equity buyersManagement Buy Outs (MBO)Employment Ownership Trusts (EOTs)Don't sellBecome an acquirer of other PR firms.“So many people think about selling, don't do it and wait until it's too late…they have something that's worth a pittance to what it was worth a few years ago.”23 mins What skills should agency owners look for when they choose an advisor for a sale?25 mins What do PR agency acquirers look for when purchasing? Or, conversely, how can you prepare your PR agency for sale?29 mins How do you get to a sensible valuation of your PR firm?31 mins The likes of W Communications and The Romans are UK PR firms trying to increase their international offer, but Michael remains surprised that more UK firms don't utilize the UK's access to finance to more aggressively to scale their businesses globally.“We're (the UK) is the number two centre for comms and PR and public affairs outside North America - we're renowned for our scale, our expert

Founded as an artist collective in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Meow Wolf has evolved into a significant force in the experience economy, redefining what it means to engage with art. Under the leadership of Julie Heinrich, Chief Impact Officer, Meow Wolf's mission transcends the conventional, weaving together creativity, inclusivity, and societal change.At its core, Meow Wolf is about immersive experiences that invite participants of all ages to step inside the mind of an artist. The exhibitions, spread across locations in Denver, Las Vegas, and soon in the Houston area, offer a unique blend of art and storytelling, where every narrative is interlinked, creating a vast, interconnected story universe. This innovative approach to art is not just about spectacle; it's about creating a space where art becomes a shared, tactile experience, fostering a deep connection between the audience, the artists, and the narratives they explore.Julie Heinrich's journey with Meow Wolf underscores a narrative of creativity and community. The organization's inception as an artist collective was a response to the restrictive nature of the traditional art scene, aiming instead to build a community grounded in generosity and inclusivity. This ethos has carried through to Meow Wolf's operations today, with a significant emphasis on hiring local artists and creating art that is accessible and engaging for diverse audiences.The Meow Wolf Foundation, led by Julie, embodies the organization's commitment to leveraging art for societal benefit. The foundation's initiatives focus on art access, healing, and transformation, particularly targeting grassroots projects, BIPOC-led or serving organizations, and youth-focused initiatives. This strategic focus not only amplifies underrepresented voices in the art world but also demonstrates a belief in art's power to catalyze positive change within communities.One of the foundation's notable strategies is its emphasis on supporting projects that make art accessible to broader segments of the population, including those in rural or underserved areas. By funding programs that, for example, facilitate school trips to cultural spaces or promote cultural sharing in indigenous communities, the foundation ensures that the transformative power of art reaches beyond urban centers, touching lives across diverse social and geographical landscapes.The story of Meow Wolf, from its humble beginnings to its current status as a cultural powerhouse, is a testament to the potential of art to bridge divides, inspire change, and build community. The involvement of notable figures like George R.R. Martin, who provided early support for the venture, adds a layer of intrigue, illustrating the unexpected intersections between popular culture and the art world.As Meow Wolf continues to expand, both physically and into digital realms, the question of how art impacts society becomes even more pertinent. With Julie at the helm of impact initiatives, Meow Wolf is not just creating art; it's crafting experiences that challenge, delight, and, most importantly, bring people together in a shared journey of discovery and transformation.“We've always been, as I mentioned, very community-minded since those early days of art making in the warehouse space,” Julie says. “Our artists were even dumpster diving for trash to create beautiful, expressive, maximalist creations.”In a world where the arts are often sidelined in favor of more "practical" pursuits, Meow Wolf's success story serves as a powerful reminder of the essential role creativity plays in fostering vibrant, inclusive, and dynamic communities. Through its immersive experiences and community-focused initiatives, Meow Wolf isn't just changing the way we see art; it's changing the way we see the world.Throughout her time with Meow Wolf, Julie has employed her superpower, a beginner's mindset, to help her drive impact.AI Episode Summary1. Julie Heinrich is the Chief Impact Officer of Meow Wolf, an immersive art and entertainment company that provides creative experiences for people of all ages.2. Meow Wolf started as an artist collective in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as a reaction to the restrictive local art scene, leading to the creation of large-scale immersive experiences.3. The company, which employs hundreds of artists, has exhibitions in New Mexico, Denver, Las Vegas, and Texas, with plans to expand further.4. Author George R.R. Martin, who resides in Santa Fe, was the original landlord and financial backer for Meow Wolf's first exhibition.5. Julie leads Meow Wolf's newly launched nonprofit foundation focused on art access, healing, and transformation, primarily supporting grassroots, BIPOC-led, and youth-focused initiatives.6. The foundation's grants are distributed across the regions where Meow Wolf operates, supporting local artists, cultural accessibility, and the preservation of cultural practices in diverse communities.7. Julie's superpower is embracing a beginner's mindset, starting each day fresh and open to new experiences, which she believes is key to personal growth and transformation.8. She credits a guided meditation and a moment of silence in nature for inspiring her to pursue her current role at Meow Wolf, highlighting the importance of allowing space for creativity and new ideas.9. Julie advises exploring the intersection of art and healing, suggesting activities like drawing, singing, dancing, and spending time in silence to foster creativity and personal well-being.10. To learn more about Meow Wolf and the Foundation, visit MeowWolf.com and connect with Julie on LinkedIn; the grant application process is currently a closed system due to limited resources.How to Develop a Beginner's Mindset As a SuperpowerJulie's superpower revolves around consistently embracing a beginner's mindset, which involves starting each day fresh and being open to new experiences and ideas. This approach allows her to approach challenges and opportunities with a fresh perspective, unburdened by previous setbacks or the constraints of routine. It's a mindset that fosters learning, growth, and innovation, and she hopes to inspire her team at Meow Wolf with this same outlook, emphasizing the potential for renewal and the chance to approach tasks with rejuvenated energy and creativity.Julie illustrates her superpower through her personal journey toward her current role at Meow Wolf. Embracing the beginner's mindset and being open to joy and creativity led her to reach out to Meow Wolf's leadership, driven by her admiration for their work and the desire for more creativity in her life. This proactive step was fueled by moments of silence and reflection, including a profound experience in the Ojito Wilderness under a full moon, which culminated in her decision to seek a significant career change and reconnect with her roots.For developing a beginner's mindset as a personal strength, Julie suggests:* Exploring the intersection between art and healing and considering how creative activities like drawing, singing, or dancing can be therapeutic and open new aspects of oneself.* Allocating time for silence and reflection without pressure, allowing space for creativity and new ideas to emerge, especially during activities that encourage a state of flow, such as walking, being in nature, or driving.By following Julie's example and tips, you can make a beginner's mindset a personal skill. With practice, it can become a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

This week on Earned, we're revisiting our incredible episode with Katie Welch, CMO of Selena Gomez's smash-hit makeup brand Rare Beauty! We kick off the episode by hearing about how Katie uses her own TikTok platform (that now boasts over 96k fans!) to mentor young professionals interested in the beauty industry, and how Katie herself broke into the space. We then walk through Katie's enviable marketing career, as she shares how the lessons she learned at communications firm Weber Shandwick—particularly, the power of storytelling—have been invaluable to her work with brands including Bliss, Hourglass, Honest Beauty, and of course, Rare Beauty. Next, we dive into Rare Beauty, and Katie recalls how Selena Gomez's mission to create a space where everyone feels welcome drew her to the brand. We discuss the challenges that come with building a brand from scratch—in the middle of a pandemic no less—and the innovative ways Rare Beauty kept its community connected and prioritized mental health in the time of COVID-19.
