Episode 2: Her Name Is Pam Pilkington

Her Name Is...

You probably haven’t met Pam Pilkington but you’ve definitely noticed her work before if you’re a fan of the CBC. From radio spots to television commercials to social media videos, it’s Pam’s job as promo producer to convince you as the viewer to tune in. (Check back later to see some of her work!) However, it wasn’t a straight line to get to where she is now. In this episode Pam talks to us about the trials and tribulations she went through to get to where she is now. (Sneak peek: It involved getting fired, eccentric editors, a lot of contract work, and business owners that couldn’t pay employees.) Having been in the media industry for over 17 years, Pam offers insight on the changes she’s seen and advice on what a young creative can take away from this changing media landscape. We hope you enjoy Pam’s story (and her many voice impressions!). -Emily and Jenny
