Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S8 E6: Strategic Communications in China with Shawn Jiang of China Advocate
Q: What role does a Chinese communications firm play in aligning a global company with Chinese policy and media landscapes?
Provide research and white papers to inform government dialogue; cultivate 'guanxi' with journalists; and help craft documentaries and local storytelling that demonstrate social value and alignment with national priorities.
S8 E6: Strategic Communications in China with Shawn Jiang of China Advocate
Q: How should a multinational navigate the tension between domestic substitution and foreign brands entering the market?
Focus on building trust through local value creation, evidence of contribution to the economy, and narratives that show collaboration with Chinese industries, while maintaining sensitivity to red-line political issues.
S8 E6: Strategic Communications in China with Shawn Jiang of China Advocate
Q: Shawn, what are the priorities embedded in China's five-year plan and how do they influence enterprise investment decisions?
The five-year plan signals where to invest and where subsidies and government support are available, with a shift toward innovation-led, technology-driven growth and green transformation, while some sectors remain restricted or open depending on strategic priorities.
S7 E8: PR Predictions for 2026 with Gábor Jelinek of PRGN
Q: How will pricing models evolve with AI integration, and what will this mean for agencies and clients?
There will be a shift from time-based to value-based pricing as AI speeds up work, but human expertise and authentic storytelling will still define value and ensure relevance in campaigns.
S8 E8: From Coffee to Contracts: Moving PR Prospects Through the Pipeline with Jaime Gardner of Novitas Communications
Q: How can agencies upsell or broaden engagement with existing clients?
Continuously listen to the client's evolving needs, show how the agency can support additional business areas beyond the original scope, and position the partnership as an integrated team rather than a vendor. Regular check-ins should surface new opportunities and framing the relationship as an advisory role can open doors to expanded engagements.
