From Pickle Chocolate Shakes to Fake Athletes: Inside Creative PR Campaigns
What separates a forgettable digital PR campaign from one that actually gets coverage, links, and results?
In this episode, Vince sits down with Katy Powell — PR director and co-founder of Bottled Imagination — to talk about what it really takes to build creative campaigns that stand out.
They get into everything: how to stress-test ideas before you pitch them, why you should be thinking more like an ad agency, how to mitigate risk when going big, and what "So What Reporting" actually means for your clients. Plus, Katy shares the stories behind two standout campaigns — a fake footballer designed to raise gambling awareness, and a very unusual protein shake flavor event involving pickles and chocolate.
If you're in digital PR and feel like you've been stuck doing the same thing over and over, this one's for you.
