To start things off, Jenaya puts the boys on Poshmark and Moh talks us through his annual Air Force 1 splurge. Moh has slept on Parks and Rec for too long and now Jenaya has to watch both that and the Office, end of story. [0-10:27] Today we are joined by the OG Marketing Major Podfather Josh Radostits, who is a recent marketing grad from the U of A. We talked about the transition into “the real world” and what it was like graduating right into a pandemic. We try to crack the code on how you get your first job. We then dive into the whole imposter syndrome talk that marketers love and how quickly it sets in for Josh. [10:30-26:14 ] Moh reminisces about the past and shares how quirky of a guy Josh is and we learn about some of his new hobbies that are certainly better than watching paint dry. Josh then shares the wild twists and turns of his recent engagement to his now wonderful fiance Peyton. [26:18-36:19]
Josh tells us about his new position as an account coordinator at FKA and how there are some things that came easy but also some things that required a bit of skill. Moh questions how much actual content from our classes is used in a real job and we discuss what we learn beyond just the in-class content. [36:24-45:45]
Alex flips the script to Moh and Jenaya, our graduating members of the team to hear what life was like post-grad and what it took to release those university toxins from the system. We look ahead at the importance of both liking the people you’re surrounded with at work and knowing what you want in a company culture. We wrap up the episode by getting Josh’s seal of approval of the new directions the podcast has taken, congratulating Moh on his lovely run, and passing the torch to the new host of the next season! [45:50-1:04:08]
thanks for the laughs, friends
until next time!
Your eyes do not deceive you, we are indeed talking Public Relations today. The hosts generically discuss how their finals season was and get sidetracked by their quirky exam anxieties. Friendly tip: NEVER CHANGE YOUR ANSWER!!!!! Moh tries pitching a campaign idea to the hosts and let's just say it still needs some work. [0:00 - 7:00]
We then dive deep into the identity crisis that comes with graduating, it’s truly unhinging. [7:08 - 16:24]
We are blessed with the presence of Lori Harito who is a talented journalist turned publicist out of Toronto. Alex and Lori bond over their heritage which was absolutely hilarious! [16:30 - 18:20]
Lori lets us into her journey to becoming a publicist and eventually starting her own PR agency! She paints a great picture of how her stint in journalism helped her climb the ranks in public relations. None of the hosts really knew what publicists do, what goes into a PR release, and the different approaches to publicity...until Lori explains all that great stuff of course. While Marketing and PR are closely related, Lori clarifies the subtle differences between them and their dynamic. [18:25 - 37:29]
Being a good publicist boils down to connections and trust, Lori tells us how she’s gone about building both while dropping some great tips. Moh has a minor anxiety attack over how stressful being a publicist seems, it really takes a special breed to keep it all together. It turns out it's pretty easy to go through a PR nightmare, the way brands respond is really the deciding factor and most do it wrong. [37:35 - 51:21]
We then switch gears into how the pandemic affected Lori and the nature of PR. Her agency was taking off right before everything shut down but somehow she found a way to make it work. [51:26 - 56:14]
It’s time for PR NIGHTMARE!!! We put Lori through our new guest segment game. We throw some ~ hypothetical ~ brand blunders and she tells us how she would handle them as that brand’s publicist. Turns out she’s really good at her job. [56:10 - 1:07:46]
The gang chats about their takeaways from our insightful discussion with Lori. You’re going to want to stick around to the end for a little announcement for what's coming up next… [1:07:52 - 1:14:36]
