Why Reports Win Headlines and How to Hook Hard-to-Reach Audiences

The Public Relations Podcast

In this episode of The Public Relations Podcast, we dive into how aligning your messaging with your audience’s mindset can lead to truly powerful results in PR-led marketing. Drawing from my experience as a journalist, I discuss how even the smallest shift in messaging can change the impact of a story—it's not about forcing a narrative but reflecting back what people already care about.

I also introduce something new: The Public Relations Podcast Premium. It's a “hack a week” series, where I break down a specific strategy or technique that’s working right now, and show you how to apply it step-by-step in your own campaigns. I created this because many of you asked for more detailed, actionable guidance—so if you’re looking to go deeper and apply these ideas, Premium is where you want to be.

In this episode, I also explore how Virgin Media's AI granny campaign cleverly taps into the universal frustration with spam calls and how you can use similar relatable tactics to connect with your audience.

As we head into the holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank all of you for being part of this community. I wish you a wonderful time with friends and family, no matter where in the world you’re celebrating. We’ll be back in the new year with more insights to help your campaigns connect with your audience.
