In this episode of PR in the Real World, host Tony joins former Viva intern Harriet Dawson to chart her unconventional PR journey - from recovering from heart surgery and starting her career during the pandemic to making waves in Melbourne’s digital PR scene.
Harriet opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of beginning her career at the onset of COVID-19, adapting to hybrid work and how PR in Australia differs from the UK. With humour and honesty, she reflects on how early exposure to impactful projects shaped her approach and why PR should give juniors more than just the mundane.
Whether you're a PR professional or someone just starting out, Harriet’s story is packed with insights about building confidence, staying versatile and keeping the spark alive at work.
