Big themes and stories in comms from the past week or so are put under the microscope in the latest edition of Noise in Brief, PRWeek UK’s bite-sized podcast.

Noise in Brief – a shorter offshoot of PRWeek’s Beyond the Noise podcast – is released fortnightly and features PRWeek journalists discussing major issues from the previous seven days or so.

This week, the team talk about the latest installment of PRWeek’s Top 150 Monthly Trading Tracker, which this month asked UK agencies from the Top 150 database whether they’ve altered their fee structures as costs rise.

The trio also discuss whether ‘pure’ consumer-focused PR agencies have a future and how the downturn in consumer spending is impacting this PR speciality.

Elsewhere, PRWeek UK editor John Harrington speaks to David Fraser, founder and managing director of Ready10, about The Pay Gap Project for 2023 and urges UK PR agencies to provide data on their ethnicity and gender pay gaps.

And finally, following the launch of the PRWeek UK Awards shortlist, the team discuss their favourite campaigns from the shortlisted finalists.
