The PR Week episodes

  • 8.1.2024 - Barbara Hunter

    Barbara Hunter, founder and namesake of Hunter PR, was one of the true pioneers of the PR industry in the years after World War II — and even more remarkable, she did so while often being the only woman in the room. 

    She talks about acquiring an agency, founding another — and the occasional three-martini lunch in the “Mad Men” era — on the latest edition of The PR Week podcast. 

    Also on the agenda, the top marketing and communications news of the week: 

    - Olympics week one, and medal-worthy campaigns and partnerships; 

    - Risque and safe Deadpool & Wolverine marketing; 

    - Publicis acquires a creator marketing firm, and much more.
