Finding Your Voice with Jess Preston

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, June 10, 2025 • Duration 55:22

You can be brilliant at your job and still be terrible at communicating it.

In this first episode, I speak with Jess Preston, co-founder of Inside Voices and a communication coach who works with leaders and spokespeople to help them speak with clarity and confidence. We explore how habits, nerves and early influences shape the way you speak, and what to do when your voice doesn’t match your intention.

We talk about the British discomfort with confidence, media training, and what makes a strong spokesperson in today’s landscape. We also discuss how brand jargon weakens messaging, and why clear, human language matters more than ever in public relations and internal communications.

Jess shares practical advice on voice training, public speaking and managing nerves, drawing on her background in performance and coaching. I reflect on what I’ve seen go wrong and right behind the scenes in brand PR and leadership communication.

In this episode, I speak with Dr Zoetanya Sujon, sociologist and author of The Social Media Age, about how digital platforms influence behaviour, tone and public conversation.

How platform design influences interaction, visibility and audience behaviour
Why life stage, profession and pressure affect how people use social media
The cultural tension between speaking up and staying silent

Motherhood and PR: Shaping Careers That Work with Bethany Pearson

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, July 8, 2025 • Duration 51:53

Motherhood and PR is not always a great mix; the industry has traditionally rewarded long hours, always-on ambition and those who put work first.

In this episode, I speak with Bethany Pearson (Betty), PR Director at Grayling and a founding mother of PR Mums, about how the PR world is starting to respond to these challenges and what still needs to change to build more inclusive careers.

We discuss how ambition is perceived after maternity leave, the structural barriers faced by returning parents, and the emotional labour many continue to carry. We also explore where progress is happening and how leadership and teams can better support working parents, and the amazing work of PR Mums and other organisations to drive positive change.

Purpose and PR: Reimagining Agency Life with Riannon Palmer

Season 1 · Episode 5

Tuesday, August 5, 2025 • Duration 46:31

PR has a perception problem, and a work culture problem. In this episode, I speak with Riannon Palmer, founder of feel-good agency Lem-uhn, about what it means to build a more thoughtful, purpose-led approach to PR that delivers strong results without burning people out.

We talk about the culture of overwork that still dominates agency life, how flexibility and boundaries can lead to better campaigns, and what it takes to run a values-led business without compromising on ambition. We also explore the role of AI, greenwashing, and why the best comms people are often the first to call out bad decisions from within.

The Power Behind the Brand: Rethinking Influence in Fashion & Beauty with Alison Bringé

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, July 22, 2025 • Duration 39:43

Influence drives the fashion and beauty industries, but are we measuring it in the right way?

In this episode, I speak with Alison Bringé, Chief Marketing Officer at Launchmetrics, about the real power of celebrity and influencer partnerships. From red carpet moments to viral TikTok clips, these are the moves that shape brand perception and sales. But behind the buzzwords and paid fame lies a deeper question: how do we actually qualify influence?

We discuss the murky history of measuring press impact and reach, and Launchmetrics’ Media Impact Value (MIV®) that help brands quantify the true value of visibility across print, social and online. Alison also shares her views on what makes a great brand moment, how brands get it wrong, and why understanding context is just as important as counting clicks.

Mentioned in the episode:

· Launchmetrics Brand Ambassador Marketing 2025 Report

· Upcoming Webinar on Qualitative Metrics

About the guest:
Alison Bringé is the Chief Marketing Officer at Launchmetrics, a brand performance platform used by leading fashion, lifestyle and beauty brands to measure and amplify their influence.
