In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

What is the role of a modern trade association? 25:43

منذ 21 يومًا25:43

25:43

Welcome to the latest PRmoment podcast. Today we’re chatting to the PRCA’s Interim CEO Sarah Waddington about her plans for the organisation. In January this year Sarah was appointed to the role, having been appointed to the board of the organisation in 2023.. Sarah is about a month into the role but in that time the PRCA has joined the CBI, launched a PR Pitch guide and Ketchum has rejoined, having left back a couple of years ago. In a moment of gorgeous irony, thanks so much to the PRmoment Podcast sponsors the PRCA. Do check out the programme for our next webinar on “ The World’s Greatest PR Research .” It's on 19th Mar 2025, starting at 3:30PM UK time. In this exclusive webinar, PRmoment editorial team have picked the best PR research they have seen in the past 12 months. Sarah welcome to the show 1 mins What is the role of a modern trade association? 6 mins What is the business model of a trade body? What are the revenue streams? 7 mins What would you say are the priorities for the PRCA currently? “Member value is number one…we’re aware agencies and in-house teams have faced difficult times in the past few years…My priorities: the fee structure. We’re doing a piece of work at the moment to make sure that is fit for purpose and reflects the market.” 8 mins Which regions around the world does the PRCA operate in? 11 mins There is a huge diversity and variance of what PRCA members want from a trade body, does that mean it can try and do too much, and become too complex an organisation? 13 mins What do PRCA members tell you they want from the organisation? 15 mins How many people does the PRCA employ now? How many members does it have? Agencies? In-house? Individual? 16.30 mins Both UK PR trade bodies (The PRCA and the CIPR) made a loss in the last financial year. Why does Sarah think that is? “The economy hasn’t really picked up…Anybody who is a member of an industry body right now, is looking at their subs and saying ‘what am i getting for this?’ It’s alright paying subs when life is good and margins are high. It is right when that is scrutinised." 21 mins It's obviously early days in Sarah’s leadership stint at the PRCA but what are her ambitions for the organisation? “Right now it’s (about) consolidation and financial stability.” “If we’re looking at the fee structure, there is clear growth to be had from the regions.” 22 mins Sarah has been involved with the leadership of the PRCA and before that the CIPR. So she knows your way around PR professional associations. Broadly is she in favour of leaner organisation or an expansionist strategy? Sarah also updates us on PR’s forever question: The PRCA/CIPR merger.…

Nothing fazes me. If you grew up like I did. Not getting a bit of coverage doesn't really matter.” 14 mins Rich talks about his long time colleague and friend: Andy Barr “Andy was the first good man I ever met. Most of the men in my life had been in and out of prison." “He gave me a chance.

Align stakeholders - What is your ultimate goal? What are your broad comms and business objectives? When do you want the work to start? Work backwards from a timeline perspective. Define your budget - perhaps bronze, silver or gold alternatives. Develop your long list of relevant agencies (Perhaps up 10-12 agencies) Post initial agency approaches, research and understand any potential conflicts. Which may rule some agencies out. Align with procurement: make sure they understand what you are looking for. Chemistry or tissue session with the agencies on the long list. These agencies should have been sent a pre tissue pack in advance. After the chemistry session the long list is cut down to 4 agencies.

26:13

It’s my twice yearly chat with W Communications founder and CEO Warren Johnson and today it’s our 2024 PR Agency Year in Review. It’s been quite the year. Some have described it as the year that never was! But could it have been worse? And has PR the latter half of Q3 and into Q4 actually come good? Warren founded W Communications in 2009. It now has global revenues of £20m and a headcount of 200, with 140 in London and 60 across the rest of the world. Over the next half hour or so Warren and I will discuss the ups and downs of agency life over the last 12 months. Before that, the breaking news is that the PRmoment Awards final entry deadline is the 17th January. Don’t miss the opportunity to create proof points of the quality of your agency’s work. Thanks so much to the PRmoment Podcast sponsors the PRCA. 2 mins Warren, on how has 2024 been for W. “The dismantling of the retainer model accelerated this year.” “We and the rest of the industry are having to re-tool into a more management consultancy style project based business” “We’re seeing a greeter and greater appetite to buy more services from PR consultancy businesses.” “It’s busy, I wouldn't say it's as profitable as it has been.” “We’re having to work harder than ever to maintain our strong margin.” “You can often have clients bump a project with little or no notice and also no penalty and that’s a drag on margin. Until we get that fixed.” “If you don’t know what the world looks like in 3 months, let alone 6, why would you plan for 9 months out.” 9 mins Why is retaining PR agency margins tougher than ever? 10 mins What are the implications of the move towards project based fees on the talent profile of PR agencies? 11 mins Is a retainer relationship ever better for the client? “If you want to partner with an agency properly, then a retainer is always better.” 13 mins In which sectors is PR spend up/down? “Love a bit of B2B. No one is ever going to cut budgets driving CEO fame or lead gen.” “Sport for us has been huge. Biggest growth area. Insatiable appetite for briefs coming in.” “Travel has been strong." “We’ve had some very good wins over the last 5 days. It’s been nice to go into Christmas with some wins under our belt." 17 mins Warren’s top tips for any independent PR agency CEOs out there on how to manage their businesses in this new project lead income, more agile business environment. “Challenge every way of working. Make sure it’s match fit.” “Agency bosses need to get out. Get into the office. Spend time with your staff IRL, go out and see clients.” “PR agency owners are making money but not enjoying it.” 20 mins What talent trends have you seen this year? “Lots of big senior names have become available, particularly client side.” “At a lower level there’s bound to be a slight reduction in grad level intake just because of the cost of bringing them in and the quite often poor quality of talent coming in. The costs versus talent quality is beginning to become imbalanced.” 23.30 mins Warren’s thoughts on the Omnicom, IPG merger. Historically these holding companies mergers happen because of the ad agencies and the PR firms either innocent bystanders, or potentially innocent victims, depending on how cynical you’re feeling at the time. Is this one the same? “The PR agencies are a rounding error of that deal.” 25 mins Warren reflects on the busyness of PR’s 2024 pitching Golden Quarter. 27 mins How does Warren think PR will fair 2025?…
