Whether you’re thinking about a career in PR or already deep in it, tune in for conversations that really matter.
In the very first episode, Vanessa invites her ex colleague Olubusayo to break down what PR is to them, sharing their journey into the industry and the realities of being the junior member of the team.
Vanessa and Olubusayo reflect on the early lessons they wish they had learnt, the mistakes they made and why PR isn’t always as glamorous as it seems. If you’re considering what it’s really like behind the press releases and client calls, this is where the journey starts.
To note, we realised a lot of PR jargon was used throughout the episode so for those not familiar:
PR – Public Relations
AE/SAE – Account Executive/Senior Account Executive (Junior Position)
AM/SAM – Account Manager/Senior Account Manager (Mid Level Position)
