Great tips and actionable advice for PR pros, whether you’re an industry newb or an old dog hunting for new tricks.
Shel and Neville have been leading the marketing podcast world for as long as downloads were cool, and social media was born. They are still relevant in the age of AI, helping communicators transcend the arrival of AI, big data, and analytics everything. Really proud of these guys as I have known them for a while.
Shel and Neville break down the topics of PR and the current events in the industry and make it enjoy able to learn.
This show has become my first choice in the long list of shows I try to keep up with. It helps me stay current in comms topics but beyond that, Shel and Neville report on the key trends that are relevant across industries. I was worried that they wouldn’t be able to go as deep when they started the additional short form episodes, but now I’m grateful for even more content and trends that they weigh in on.
