This episode is about knowing the value of your work, keeping sight of it, and being able to articulate it when it counts.
In this episode, I’m joined by Marianne Morgan, Insights and Evaluation Lead at the Information Commissioner’s Office, to talk about embedding measurement into everyday ways of working and using it to confidently demonstrate the impact of PR.
Marianne brings deep experience from PR agency environments into her specialist work in communications measurement. We discuss how insight can help you stay on track, strengthen decision-making, and show the worth of your work without everyone needing to become a “data person”.
The conversation also explores Marianne’s current work at the ICO and how evaluation supports communications around complex and sensitive issues. Marianne also reflects on returning from maternity leave, moving into a specialist role, and how developing deep expertise can open new paths in a PR career.
