The latest guest on The PR Week podcast is none other than Weber Shandwick Collective CEO Gail Heimann. 

Heimann made news of her own this week when Weber announced she will step down in November, to be replaced by agency president Susan Howe. 

Why is this fall the right time for a leadership transition? Heimann talks about that and much more, including the origin story of the Cannes Lions-winning Edible Mascot campaign and her thoughts on the presidential election on the latest edition of The PR Week. 

Plus the biggest marketing and communications news of the week, including Finn Partners’ acquisition of a Paris agency

 and the PRWeek US Awards 2025 opening for entries.
