In this first "pilot" episode of the new podcast, Comms Question Time, Richard Midson teams up with communication/PR experts Sonali Sokhal and Jim McCarthy to solve listeners' comms questions.

In this episode, they take questions from a non-profit heart health campaign struggling to gain media attention and from a local council struggling to get across their environmental efforts. We also cover using personal stories, celebrity endorsements, social media, and community engagement in order to create messaging that stick in people's minds. CommsQuestionTime is all about "PR-led" marketing, an approach that uses relationship building to guide marketing efforts.
