ABOUT THE POD

Hey, welcome to The PR Hub Podcast… the website! You may already be a listener, you may be a newcomer, but either way you may have a few questions about the pod or even about us (Adam and Jon) which is where this little blurb comes in. So, here goes…

We originally started PR Hub in 2014 as a local PR and marcoms networking group, and was a means for us to keep in touch after Adam left the company we worked at together. It was fairly successful too; every month we’d gather with other marcoms pros in and around different pubs in Cambridge, UK and chat about the good and the bad they’d faced over the preceding weeks, it was almost like a group therapy session! For a long time however, we’d spoken about creating a podcast.

Five years later and we finally got around to making season one of The PR Hub Podcast, but it was a very different beast compared with what we have today. It was a more typical marcoms podcast; we had a significant section about some of the comms news that had caught our eye, we featured an interview with a comms pro, and we highlighted a few events coming up in the intervening weeks before the next episode. Oh, and it was a little rigid. Actually, it was very rigid… we were a long way off from the strapline and guiding light that emerged in season two: “Sometimes sweary, always insightful.”

That strapline really helped us focus on what the follow up – and every subsequent – season of The PR Hub Podcast should be: more relaxed, less stuffy (something that we tend to find a lot of other marcoms pods to be) sometimes sweary, but most importantly always insightful thanks to the knowledgeable and intriguing guests we interview from across the marcoms industry, whether agency owner, internal comms specialist, or in-house lead.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to speak with professionals at the vanguard of our industry, people who continue to push public relations and marcoms into new areas, and we will continue to do that.

And that’s our story! We hope you enjoy listening – don’t forget to like and subscribe to the pod, and get in touch on Twitter @PRHub or email us at theprhubpodcast@gmail.com!

Stay sometimes sweary, but always insightful,

Adam and Jon
