Trust Relations‘ original podcast, The PR Wine Down, has been named the Gold Winner of the international Hermes Creative Awards.
The PR Wine Down is co-hosted by journalist-turned-agency-owner April White and corporate PR veteran and consultant Laura Schooler, as they take on the challenges and issues in the communications industry with a humorous and frank perspective. The show aims to disrupt the PR industry status quo by providing real-world experiences and actionable advice to help publicists cut through the B.S. and become better at what they do. Interviews feature insightful conversations with some of the most notable figures in the trade.
Launched in July 2020, The PR Wine Down podcast now has over 80 episodes and 4,000+ listens. It has become a go-to resource for PR practitioners that exposes the need for change in the culture of the PR industry. Driven to pull back the curtain on the everyday challenges PR practitioners face, White and Schooler create a community-focused environment to support PR practitioners on issues related to client management, toxic workplace cultures, upskilling, and proving the ROI of PR to their stakeholders.
