Shayoni Lynn, Founder of Lynn PR, is my special guest today on International Women's Day 2021.

Shay and I have known each other for a couple of years through work with the PRCA.

Lynn PR's work, using behavioural science as its roots, to determine the communication strategy, is a shining example of robust methodology and approach to measuring impact, not least actually affecting behaviour change.

For the last year, Claire and I have collaborated on a Zoom/Insta Live journey to help SMEs navigate lockdown and keep communicating with their audiences.

I was pleased she agreed to come on the podcast and talk about stuff we chat about regularly, because I don't know if everyone is on the same page?

This conversation got interesting when we chatted about community building and how Facebook is evolving with a beta of 'stars', which to me, looks like the start of crypto currency on the platform.

Tune in, leave a review for us, and please remember to share and subscribe! 

I'd love to keep my conversations going with PR and communication professionals, giving different perspectives and food for thought. If you're up for being a guest, get in touch to tell me about your episode idea!

My first guest episode of People buy People in 2021 features a discussion with Simon Francis, Founding Member of Campaign Collective and past Chair of PRCA Council. 

We talk about social impact, the need for collaboration, the need to work closer with business organisations and government, plus the upcoming COP26 in Glasgow. LOTS to discuss and there will definitely be a follow-up episode!

Hello and Happy New Year!

Another year, another lockdown...

Welcome to the first episode of People Buy People in 2021. I wanted to kick off with a quick summary of what's on and an invitation to those of you in PR and communication, to join #PRsUnite on 13th and 27th January at 3pm. It's a global Zoom call for people in PR and communication who want to chew the fat, ask questions, bust myths or generally just want to find a good community of colleagues. 

In this episode I talk about PRCA Scotland new Vice Chairs, my role in a new PRCA working group on COP26, losing some business due to lockdown but the opportunities for my mentees and SMEs to work with me and understand the value of strategic public relations. 

Please do leave a review and subscribe for the next episode, coming 19 January!

In this final episode of the year, I talk about my experience of the last six months or so and an exciting new business I've set up as a side hustle www.wonkypickles.com (shipping across the UK in the New Year!).

From setting up #PRsUnite in March for the global PR community to developing the CIPR's new mentoring scheme for members, to developing and launching my own development and coaching programme for private clients, then developing a framework to help existing and new clients re-ignite out of lockdown... it's been a busy and productive year, despite losing business so early-on.

Don't forget to subscribe so you can get the latest episode straight to your streaming app AND if you've listened to my show this year, I'd really appreciate some feedback and a review on your streaming app.

Thank you for tuning in! I wish you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous Christmas and New Year.

Darryl Sparey of Hard Numbers, a new agency born in lockdown, chats to Laura about his latest addition to the family, how he plans to cope with work and life and about being a transparent industry.

And no podcast featuring Darryl wouldn't be complete if John Brown from Don't Cry Wolf didn't get some love! lol

You can follow Darryl on Twitter @DarrylSparey - feel free to drop him a note.

Also, as I indicate at the end of the show, I'm looking for guests for 2021 show. If you've got some PR, digital, communication diamond chat, get in touch and let's discuss! [email protected]

In this extended podcast episode, I chat to Katy Howell, CEO of Immediate Future, about a lot of things.

Many laughs were edited out! lol

Angharad is Head of Client Success at Radioactive PR, was promoted earlier this year and has been on maternity leave but her focus has firmly been on the team and clients since she returned. 

Tune in for a great conversation about her leadership style, our thinking on industry leadership and what's required, plus some of the usual tangents!

You can follow Angharad @Welsh_PR on Twitter.

It's fair to say Rax and I have a whole lot in common. We're both Virgos, love food, love chatting, straight talking and we both LOVE PR.

In this episode, we talk about Rax's career journey, experiences and we both agree about up-skilling, robust measurement and being curious.

I think I'll need to do a follow-up soon, so I can capture what was cut off by zoom! 

You can find Rax @RaxLakhani on Twitter. He's always on there ;)
