The PR Week episodes:

May 29, 2026 The new influencer playbook, a podcast sponsored by Real Chemistry
The question is no longer whether brands should work with influencers. It’s about how brands can leverage culturally relevant influencers as part of an integrated digital ecosystem that drives brand impact while building trust, brand equity and advocacy, all while staying compliant within industry regulations.
Healthcare brands face some of the toughest such regulations, which is why this sector is so helpful to examine in this regard. That is why the counsel offered on this podcast from Real Chemistry’s Erin Bittner, president of integrated communications, and Bayer’s Courtney Ambrosi, director of consumer integrated marketing strategy, women’s healthcare, is so valuable.
During this conversation, the two discuss why cultural relevance and authenticity matter more than reach. They provide a blueprint for integration in a digital ecosystem. Help in measuring both the hard and soft value of influencer marketing is provided. And they make a compelling case for why compliance is a catalyst, not a constraint, for stronger influencer partnerships.
If you want to learn how to work with influencers in a manner that will drive deeper credibility, connection and business impact, you’ve found the right podcast.

May 28, 2026 The power of the prompt, a podcast sponsored by Coyne PR
As brands race to understand how they show up in generative AI and measure their visibility, many make strategic decisions based on incomplete data. A smart prompt framework can be the main ingredient for uncovering key narratives, filling visibility gaps and gaining share of answer.
During this podcast, Coyne PR’s Stacy Bataille, SVP, and Sierra L'Altrelli, VP of PR and analytics, provide a 360-degree master class to help you truly tap into the power of the prompt. They counsel on how to achieve the right language, tone and intent in all your prompts. They lay out the risks of having too narrow a set of prompts. They help you move beyond raw AI outputs to glean insight you can act on immediately.
To top it all off, they lead an exercise in which a prompt is crafted on the spot — putting all the lessons on display for you to follow.
The ability to prompt effectively will become — if it hasn’t already — one of the most important skills a PR pro can master. This conversation will be a huge step in that direction for you.

May 11, 2026 Creativity means business, a podcast sponsored by Padilla
Creativity isn’t what you make. It’s how you think. And organizations that treat it as a department — rather than a discipline —are leaving serious competitive advantage on the table. In this episode, we challenge one of business’ most frustrating and persistent myths: that creativity belongs to a certain type of person in a certain type of role.

We make the case that creativity is not an output but a behavior: a way of thinking, questioning and problem-solving that drives measurable impact. We explore how creative thinking has been systematically stripped from our institutions and culture, and what that’s costing organizations today.

For PR, communications, marketing and advertising leaders, the conversation focuses on what it actually takes to build a genuinely creative culture — from a foundational philosophy of why you exist, who you hire and why the agencies that will win the next decade are the ones brave enough to stop selling work and start selling thinking.
