This month’s Listen.Better interview is with Jules Herd, Managing Director at Five in a Boat and Chair PRCA’s PR and Communications Council.
It was fascinating to hear more about how the music tech sector has been affected by the pandemic and how Jules and her team pivoted and adapted client services to support their client base.
We asked:
- Can you summarise how you as an agency leader responded to the pandemic?
- Can you share some of the issues your clients in the music tech sector experience and how did they adapt?
- How do you see the future of the music industry?
- How do companies that may have pivoted their offer to offer more digital services get cut through to promote themselves in a crowded marketplace?
- How has the Covid-19 pandemic shaped/changed you as a leader?
- What will good look like for the PR and Comms Council in the coming year?
- What keeps you motivated and inspired?
