US PR professionals living in the UK share their take on the 2024 US election results, and the biggest implications for the comms industry, in a special edition episode of PRWeek UK’s Beyond the Noise podcast.

For this discussion, we’re joined by David Gallagher, the former Ketchum Europe boss, who is now a partner at Folgate Advisors; and Whitney Simon, senior account director and head of DE&I consulting at Missive.

Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen on your favourite platform.

Speaking to PRWeek senior reporter Evie Barrett and UK editor John Harrington, our guests delve into the US presidential election, giving their initial reactions to Trump’s win and the comms lessons we can learn from both campaign trails.

The pair share their views on the role of celebrity endorsements, and explore what the shift towards alternative media forms like podcasts could mean for the future.

They also consider the wider implications for the PR industry on both sides of the pond, looking at whether we can expect ESG and purpose campaigns to now thrive or disappear.
