","summary":"In this episode I interview PR measurement experts, Richard Bagnall and Darryl Sparey on their latest joint research that explores the effects PR has on attracting investors and gain funding for tech start-ups.\r\n\r\nWe delve into the research results including the types of business that see this success, the PR approach needed to gain these results and specifically how important a CEO or founder can be in the process. \r\n\r\nThis conversation is fascinating, not just because of the correlation the research found between PR and financial funding but because both Darryl and Richard have so much experience in this area of PR work (b2b and reputation) and importantly how to measure it. \r\n\r\nDarryl is the MD and Co-Founder of performance-driven marketing and comms consultancy, Hard Numbers.\r\n\r\nRichard is the co-managing partner of evaluation firm CARMA. He’s been awarded CIPR President’s medal for his service to PR, he won the AMEC Don Bartholomew Award and of course was also the chair of AMEC between 2016-2022 too. \r\n\r\nTogether they share wisdom and practical advice from their own experiences throughout the interview.\r\n\r\nWe cover;\r\n- How they researched 64 startup unicorn businesses & analysed over 65,000 pieces of coverage\r\n- We look at the sectors that have the most potential for funding\r\n- Darryl shares tips on how best to work with busy senior leaders & why a ‘Get to text’ approach is best\r\n- I challenge correlation vs causation in the results and Richard shares brilliant wisdom in how we can all apply these lessons to our own measurement plans.","date_published":"2023-04-30T17:00:00.000-04:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/6b92eed4-60c1-4c6c-a465-75c6e7834e87/1d63d860-7e30-43aa-8471-bf1edc850bf7.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":47997280,"duration_in_seconds":2999}]},{"id":"dc712a34-63c9-41d5-8c47-af6198235c15","title":"How Music Grows Brands","url":"https://podcast.coveragebook.com/howmusicgrowsbrands","content_text":"In this episode I delve into the power of music; how it shapes cultures, grows brands and can drive business. \n\nI’m interviewing two people who’s deep understanding of music & culture has led them to work on brand partnership deals that have built reputation and grow businesses. \n\nI’m joined by ex-Head of Global Music at Coca-Cola, Joe Belliotti and Rebecca Jolly who is a global business consultant focused on growing business through culture.\n\nFormer MD at Mixmag and now MD at new generation media company Woo from ITV, Rebecca has extensive music media experience and has teamed up with music brand partnership expert Joe Belliotti on new book ‘How Music Grows Brands’.\n\nIts the first of its kind and is already an Amazon Best Seller, the book helps PR and marketing teams bring music into strategies and connect with audiences in a way that will drive business.
