  • Bonus Episode: Emma Padden, PR Mums
    Jul 22 2024

    In another bonus episode, Tom speaks to PR guru Emma Padden.

    Emma’s career has seen her ascend to the very top of the PR industry, working as a senior director at several of the biggest agencies in the UK.

    But recently Emma, along with seven other equally illustrious colleagues, made a leap into the unknown and set-up their own organisation.

    PR Mums is a unique community that offers support for women looking to return to the industry after taking time out to start a family.

    - AI content generators that can create a press release in seconds from just a few keywords

    - How to give AI releases a human feel
