    007 - Break Down the Silos

    Suitscast 007 It's ironic how easy it can be to stop communicating in a communications industry like advertising. Avoiding the pull to silo up in agency departments is key in keeping a spirit of collaboration and keeping all ad agency personnel in the loop on your clients. Being in a client-facing role means your colleagues in other departments will only know what you tell them about your clients. Megan Paquin from &Barr offers excellent insights on the above and more from her PR background: How to balance managing clients directly day-to-day vs. delegating to employees under you (if you're in a management role) Using transparency to avoid agency silos and encourage idea creation Diving deep into the evolution of PR, including the state of influencers in 2018 Megan's bio: http://meganp.andbarr.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
