Beyond the Desk: Your PR Survival Guide
Beyond the Desk is a podcast for the next generation of PR professionals who don’t see themselves reflected in the boardrooms — yet. Hosted by Vanessa, a fellow junior PR and communications specialist, this series peels back the glossy exterior of British corporate life to share the raw, unfiltered lessons they don’t teach you as a newbie entering the industry with a good dose of Gen Z honesty.
Whether you’re thinking about a career in PR or already deep in it, tune in for conversations that really matter.
Beyond the Desk: Your PR Survival Guide
So, You Want to Work in PR? (feat Olubusayo)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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 Relations
AE/SAE - Account Executive/Senior Account Executive (Junior Position)
AM/SAM - Account Manager/Senior Account Manager (Mid Level Position)
