This time on The PR Hub Podcast, Adam and Jon discuss the recent social media mishap from Arsenal and Adidas, the decision by Edelman to pull out of a contract with the company behind the Trump camps in the United States following pressure from staff, and the very Brexit-like result of the pod’s debut poll on whether public relations is a profession… or an industry.

The duo speak with Darren Caveney, founder of PR resource site Comms2Point0 and co-founder of ‘the public relations equivalent of Woodstock’, the CommsUnplugged Festival. Finally, they highlight a couple of events happening next month. Oh, and we discover Adam’s London-based football club of choice (hint: it’s not Arsenal. Or Chelsea. Or any team in the Premiership).
