    Working Hard vs Being Seen (feat. Joshua)

    In this episode, I’m joined by my former colleague and friend, Joshua, as we dive into one of the hardest lessons you learn early in PR: doing the work isn’t always enough.We talk honestly about what actually gets you noticed in the workplace, why being visible often matters more than just working hard, and how to navigate that without losing yourself. From shouting yourself out in the right way to finding an executive sponsor who’ll back you when you’re not in the room — this conversation is packed with gems for anyone trying to build a career in comms.Whether you’re trying to stand out, speak up, or survive your first year in PR — this one’s for you.

    So, You Want to Work in PR? (feat Olubusayo)

    In the very first episode, Vanessa invites her ex colleague Olubusayo to break down what PR is to them, sharing their journey into the industry and the realities of being the junior member of the team. Vanessa and Olubusayo reflect on the early lessons they wish they had learnt, the  mistakes they made and why PR isn’t always as glamorous as it seems. If you’re considering what it’s really like behind the press releases and client calls, this is where the journey starts.To note, we realised a lot of PR jargon was used throughout the episode so for those not familiar: PR - Public RelationsAE/SAE - Account Executive/Senior Account Executive (Junior Position)AM/SAM - Account Manager/Senior Account Manager (Mid Level Position)If you'd love to be involved in the podcast, feel free to contact me on LinkedIn - Vanessa Nkemayang or via email at [email protected] do like, comment and subscribe for more content!
