Public Sector Marketing Show – Details, episodes & analysis

Exciting news from the digital marketing world! Ireland has

just launched its first national Digital Marketing Apprenticeship Program, a

major milestone in the country's education and training landscape.

Spearheaded by the Mayo Sligo Leitrim Education and Training Board (MSLETB) and led by

Debbie Woodward, the interim national program manager, this initiative is set

to revolutionize how digital marketing skills are developed in Ireland.

Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Debbie about this trailblazing

program, and I’m thrilled to share the details with you.

Hello and welcome to Season 6 and Episode 104 of the Public Sector Marketing Show. 

In today’s episode I’m getting serious. Serious about the disruption of mainstream media, attacks on journalists and the threats to our democracy. 

Online hate is increasing, politicians are hanging up their political boots as it has become too much and decision-makers fear backlash and personal attacks.

I’ll talk about the challenges to democracy and the role of media, social media and the challenges governments, politicians and public sector are facing right now. 

I really do worry about the future of democracy, and it is something we cannot take for granted. I really understand that people are angry, and that social media has democratised society in a way like never before. We can all have our say on any issue and reach tens of thousands of people on our own social networks. 

But while citizen journalism has added a new dimension to media as we know it, we need strong and independent as well as strong state media outlets like never before. 

I speak to an expert in this field, Marius Dragomir, who is the Director of the Center for Media, Data and Society. 

Let’s dive in! 

Hello and welcome to Season 6 and Episode 95 of the Public Sector Marketing Show. 

2024 is the year of AI isn’t it?

If 2023 was the year ChatGPT went mainstream, 2024 will be year of adaptation to this AI tools and others. 

But there is still so much uncertainty and fear around AI being part of our every day and I am having these conversations in public sector boardrooms every week. 

But as always, I am here to try to help you take the first or next AI step, so, let’s dive in.

It’s no longer enough to deliver Government and public sector how you want to deliver it, you need to be open and transparent and meet public expectations.

This episode, number 5 of the Public Sector Marketing Show, is inspired by former US President Barack Obama and we get insights into how the 44th President of the United States wanted to re-shape government communications.

Coming up on the show:

• Why digital has disrupted everything we once knew about communications
• The death of the press release or is it?
• How to develop a digital communications plan for open and transparent public service delivery
• I speak to Tom Cochran who tells us what we can learn from President Obama’s administration as his former Chief Digital Officer
• Read my article published in Open Access Government in the UK

So stay tuned!

The Public Sector Marketing Show is a weekly podcast dedicated to digital marketing and social media insights for government and public sector pros hosted by Joanne Sweeney, founder of the Public Sector Marketing Institute.

What is your organisation’s instant response when you are faced with negativity on social media?

Do you even react?

Fear of criticism and managing waves of public commentary is one of the greatest challenges for government and public sector. It also stunts their social media growth.

In this episode I discuss:

• How to handle negativity and trolling on social media
• Why you shouldn’t build your strategy on the 1%;
• Why the public must be listened to and how to do it;
• I speak to Tony Rino, who has published an article in the McMaster Journal of Communication on this very topic.

So stay tuned!

The Public Sector Marketing Show is a weekly podcast dedicated to digital marketing and social media insights for government and public sector pros hosted by Joanne Sweeney, founder of the Public Sector Marketing Institute.

Are you a CEO or a senior leader in government or public sector?

What’s your opinion of social media and its relevance to your role? How about your senior management team and subject matter experts across various departments – do they have a part to play?

My own view is that it’s not a question ‘if?’ but ‘when and how’?

In this episode, I’m going to explore this topic in greater detail.  

I’m going to share:

• why CEOs should step up on social media; 
• how leadership can change public opinion online;
• the role social media plays in managing the media narrative more effectively and; 
• why social media bridges the trust gap between public servants, politicians and the public.

I also share best practice examples of leaders from across the world who we should look to for inspiration. 

You’ll even get access to my free webinar on the role of senior leadership on social media, so stay tuned!

The Public Sector Marketing Show is a weekly podcast dedicated to digital marketing and social media insights for government and public sector pros hosted by Joanne Sweeney, founder of the Public Sector Marketing Institute.

Social media is mainstream media. It’s no longer the poor relation of TV, radio, newspapers or web-based media.

In 2021, public sector and government marketing pros shouldn’t ask, ‘will we fully embrace social?’, you must ask your team ‘how will we master social media this year and be a leader in the public sector?’

In episode two of The Public Sector Marketing Show I share the trends, tactics and team structure you need to master social media this year. 

We also hear from two public sector pros who give insights into how they have embraced social media.

You’ll even get access to my free webinar on how to develop a social media strategy.

If you’re going all in with social media in 2021 then stay tuned to Episode 2 of The Public Sector Marketing Show hosted by Joanne Sweeney.
