Our guests this week are Samantha Ndebele, healthcare senior account manager at Burson, and Lucy Somers, deputy group director of digital at PLMR and director of PLMR Genesis Digital.

Ndebele entered the industry after gaining an MA in Public Relations and Corporate Communications from Kingston University, while Somers undertook at apprenticeship at PLMR.

Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest communications and PR issues.

A recent episode looked at the future of academic courses in PR, with news that just one BA PR course currently operates – two decades ago there were 20. This week we look at things from the perspective of two high-flying comms professionals who entered PR relatively recently.

Speaking to PRWeek UK editor John Harrington and senior reporter Evie Barrett, Ndebele and Somers discuss their different paths in to the industry, looking at the advantages of taking an academic route and of apprenticeships.

They also talk about elements of their roles that can only be learned ‘on the job’, and Ndebele recounts her experience of being on a PR internship.

The duo predict what we may start seeing in PR courses in the years ahead.

Last but not least, they offer advice for any budding comms professional thinking about taking their first steps into the sector.

‘DEI-hushing will happen’ – Trump-era DEI rollback 41:58

منذ 17 يومًا41:58

41:58

The rollback on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) by big corporations is the subject of PRWeek’s latest Beyond the Noise podcast. Joining the podcast this week are Avril Lee, head of health and wellness, Europe, at Zeno Group, and chair of the DEI Network at the CIPR; and Zaiba Malik, director of Coppergate Communications and an author, crisis communications consultant, media trainer and ex-journalist. Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple , Spotify , or listen in the browser above. Our guests examine the communications strategies and approaches of different companies that have dropped, or watered-down, their DEI commitments in the wake of the election of Donald Trump to a second presidency. ‘DEI must DEI’ has become the mantra of the Trump government and the President’s new executive orders aim to dismantle nearly all forms of DEI. Speaking to PRWeek UK editor John Harrington, Lee and Malik discuss the potential impact of these actions on the wider comms and reputation of an organisation, especially in the longer term. They look at what these policies might mean for the ‘calendar events’ such as Pride and Black History Month. Lee and Malik offer advice to comms professionals working with companies that are backing away from DEI. And they talk about what, if anything, comms can do to influence these policies in the first place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

PR is crying out for AI training 33:22

منذ 4 weeks33:22

33:22

How prepared is UK PR for the AI revolution? PRWeek’s latest Beyond the Noise podcast episode takes a look. Our guests this week have been looking at that question as part of a major study: Jo Sutherland, MD at comms agency Magenta Associates; and Dr Tanya Kant, senior lecturer in media and cultural studies (digital media) at the University of Sussex. 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. Sutherland and Kant discuss the survey from last year of 1,100 UK-based content writers and managers working in PR, comms or marketing. The duo explain the background to the research and choose their top lessons from the study, which looks at what proportion of comms professionals are using AI, what they think of the tools, and how many have received training. The report – ‘CheatGPT? Generative text AI use in the UK’s PR and communications profession’ – also asks about ethical and legal concerns. Speaking to PRWeek UK editor John Harrington, our guests discuss the biggest barriers to AI success for comms professionals, including an apparent lack of sufficient training. They talk about upcoming regulations around the technology, the dangers of ‘AI fatigue’, and offer practical advice for PR professionals who want to get ahead. Sutherland also gives the lowdown on Magenta’s experience with AI – including how the agency secured money from the Government’s AI Upskilling fund, which covers 50 per cent of the PR firm’s AI training. This week’s episode is the second in a row on AI. Last week we spoke to Erin Lanuti, chief innovation officer at Omnicom PR Group , who discussed DeepSeek’s dramatic entry to the AI market and what it might mean for the comms industry.

Will DeepSeek shake-up AI in PR? PRWeek podcast, with Omnicom PR Group 18:07

منذ 5 weeks18:07

18:07

What does DeepSeek's dramatic entry to the AI market mean for the comms industry - and should PR professionals embrace the platform? PRWeek's Beyond the Noise podcast takes a look. The latest episode features guest Erin Lanuti, chief innovation officer at Omnicom PR Group (OPRG), who has been leading AI policy at the division whose agencies include Ketchum, FleishmanHillard, Porter Novelli and Portland. 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 UK editor John Harrington, Lanuti gives her impression of the furore caused by the emergence of Deepseek, the Chinese company behind the new AI chatbot R1. President Trump described the emergence of DeepSeek, which is said to be built for a fraction of the cost of its AI rivals, as a ‘wake-up call’ for the US tech industry. DeepSeek shocked the financial markets and wiped billions off the share prices of US tech giants in late January as it became the most downloaded free app in the US in just a week. However, concerns remain about the distribution of mis- and disinformation via DeepSeek, and about censorship. Cybersecurity firm Wiz has also said a security breach had exposed one million users of the technology. Lanuti discusses the advantages and disadvantages of DeepSeek and expresses misgivings about how it could be used to spread false information. More generally, she discusses OPRG's AI strategy and whether the PR industry in general is doing enough to keep up to speed with the fast-moving technology. Lanuti also gives her predictions for AI for the year ahead - with one quirky prediction provided by her AI agent. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

How to run a profitable PR business in 2025 - new report details challenges 28:34

منذ 13 weeks28:34

28:34

Delving into a new report from the specialist accountants Moore Kingston Smith, PRWeek's latest podcast examines big business performance trends such as agency revenues, profit margins and the costs of employing people. The report contains some worrying figures on average profit margins at agencies that were reported to have fallen from 18.5% the previous year to 12.9% this year. There was also a slight overall year-on -year fall in income. And when adjusted for inflation, gross income grew by a 6.5%, though this figure has been impacted by rising inflation. PRWeek's weekly Beyond the Noise podcast looks at some of the biggest issues affecting communications and PR. Download the podcast via Apple , Spotify , or listen in the browser above or on your favourite platform. In this week's episode, PRWeek editor-in-chief Danny Rogers speaks to Esther Carder, partner at Moore Kingston Smith, about business performance across the PR sector and beyond. Speaking about agency profits, Carder says the report confirmed a "big dip" in figures across the PR industry. She said: “I think it can largely be explained by the contraction fee income. While it looked like there was some growth in fee income, by the time you adjust that for inflation, actually income had on the whole contracted.” The PR sector was not alone in that, Carter added, saying that every business discipline across the marketing services spectrum that was examined showed income had contracted when adjusted by inflation.
