2.15 Life happens in a Costa

Season 2, Episode 15

We cover a 'latte' ground in this episode of the podcast, as Adam and Jon speak with the Global PR Lead for Costa Coffee, Penny Mairoudhiou. First attracted to a career in PR and comms thanks to BBC comedy Absolutely Fabulous, she discusses her journey from Coventry to the bright lights of London - where expectations of glitz and glamour weren't initially forthcoming. As PR lead for Costa, she chats about her move from agency to in-house, how the company culture has (or hasn't!) changed under its new parent company, Coca-Cola, and her admiration of the next-generation of PR pros.
