Celebrity vs Influencer: What Works for Brands in Today’s Fame Economy?

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 47:17

How do we define ‘celebrity’ in 2026? We’re discussing whether traditional celebs can still drive real impact, when influencer relevance trumps reach, and which sectors should (or absolutely shouldn’t) bother with a famous face. From red flags in celebrity partnerships to what to do if your chosen star generates the wrong sort of headlines, we’ll explore the pitfalls as well as the positives.

In this episode of What’s Got the World Talking? Jane is joined by associate creative director Dan Gabriel and senior news director Amy Brookbanks as they share their favourite brand/celeb partnerships (spoiler alert: BIG fans of M&S!), discuss how much control brands really have, and debate what AI influencers might mean for the future.

If you’re wondering how to choose the right talent, whether it could shift perception of your brand, and how to avoid expensive mistakes, this conversation is your guide to navigating the tricky waters of brand/celeb partnerships.

PR and Regional Media: What Works Now

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, March 11, 2026 • Duration 36:12

The regional news landscape in the UK has changed dramatically over the last decade and how people are consuming their local news has changed too. What is the opportunity here for brands and are enough brands recognising and capitalising on the potential?

In this episode of What’s Got the World Talking? Jane is joined by senior PR director Rachael Heise and PR director Celine Bisson – both experts in regional strategy – to discuss why brands need to stop viewing regional activity as a backup to national, what the regional journalist/PR relationship looks like now, and how the picture differs around the UK.

They also share insight about what makes a good local news story, why repurposing national content doesn’t work, and why – at a time when trust in the media is decreasing – local and regional offers potential to buck that trend. Tune in for all this and much more.

Why Creativity Matters More Than Ever

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 • Duration 41:19

In this episode, we're looking at a big topic - creativity. It sits at the heart of our industry but is a hotter topic than ever as, with the rise of AI and the increasing presence of technology in every aspect of our professional and personal lives, authentic human creativity is firmly back in the spotlight.

What does creativity mean in today's marketing landscape? Where does creativity sit in the marketing funnel? Does AI have a role to play? How do you keep creativity flowing while keeping an eye on commerciality? Can (and should) you be taking a more creative approach to your marketing strategy and campaigns?

Jane Ainsworth, managing director of WPR, is joined by associate creative director Dan Gabriel to discuss all these points, while also sharing some personal creative highlights and explaining why 'glitter gravy' will be inscribed on Dan's headstone.
