In this episode, we talk about how we define success as PR and communications pros. Is it all about money or is it about the work? We talk to Lucy, the founder of ‘The Wern’,  a PR & design ‘do it for you’ consultancy for startups and small businesses. Lucy shares her experience of working with small businesses and her ethos on hyping yourself. We want to thank Lucy for being incredibly vulnerable and sharing her family story with us.
