From Campaigns to Credibility: The Real Work of Trade PR with Sofie Diskin of The Martin Agency

mercredi 7 janvier 2026 • Durée 24:19

What does it really take to turn creative campaigns into lasting credibility?

In this episode of Comms Confidential, host Joe Gallo sits down with Sofie Diskin, who leads trade PR at The Martin Agency, one of the most influential creative agencies in the world. Sofie shares what it’s like to run communications inside an ad agency—where PR, creativity, and business growth constantly collide—and why agencies must think and operate like brands in their own right.

Together, they unpack the tension between PR and advertising, how trade PR extends far beyond campaign launches, and the role earned media plays in building reputation, momentum, and trust. Sofie takes listeners behind the scenes of viral campaigns, narrative backlash, and Cannes main-stage moments, offering a candid look at how credibility is built—and rebuilt—over time.

If you’ve ever wondered:

How PR actually drives business growth inside creative agencies
What effective thought leadership really looks like
How to align comms goals with growth, talent, and reputation
Or when patience is the smartest PR strategy

This episode pulls back the curtain.

Joy as a Comms Strategy: Non-Verbal Communications with The Dancing Umpire Vincent Chapman

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mardi 21 avril 2026 • Durée 24:12

What does it take to build a crowd of thousands—not with a product or a pitch, but with pure joy? Vincent Chapman has the answer.

From Little League fields in Northeast Texas to sold-out Savannah Bananas stadium tours watched by millions, Vincent built a career and a personal brand by treating joy as a deliberate, repeatable strategy rather than a mood. His viral 2015 video caught the Bananas' attention. Six years later, they came calling. Now he dances in front of 100,000 people and speaks to corporations about what they get wrong about connection.

In this episode, we discuss the two rules of Vincent's Joy Movement, what corporate America misses by measuring people as numbers, how 95% of what he does on the field is completely improvised, why trust unlocks performance better than control, how to build a personal brand that outlasts any single platform, and much more.

Fans are Our Brand: Sam Bauman on How to Keep The Audience at the Center of Everything

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 7 avril 2026 • Durée 43:39

What does it take to build PR for a brand that doesn't believe in red tape? Sam Bauman has the answer.

From local TV news anchor in Michigan to media relations lead at one of the most creative sports entertainment brands in the world, Sam spent ten years reporting the news before the Savannah Bananas called him to help make it. He built their media relations function from the ground up — navigating live game chaos, a zero-red-tape philosophy, and Jesse Cole's core belief that attention beats marketing every time.

In this episode, we discuss knowing your brand goes deeper than a logo or colors, the bar-with-no-sound test for live content, building brand identity across six teams in the Banana Ball Championship League, scenario planning for live sports sideline storytelling, what a mic'd-up home run interview taught Sam about preparation meeting improvisation and much more.

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mardi 24 mars 2026 • Durée 36:10

What does it take to build a B2B brand that journalists actually want to cover and does that change when the journalists no longer need a masthead?

Aaron Berger, Principal and Co-Founder of A/M Partners, has the answer. From a Washington DC cab to Ketchum, Mastercard, IBM and now his own firm, Aaron has seen the industry evolve rapidly.

In this episode, we discuss why prestige media validates rather than drives B2B sales, the need for a hybrid top-down and bottom-up media strategy, why independent journalists now matter as much as major mastheads, getting comfortable with uncertainty and with clients leaving and much more.
