Have You Got 5 Minutes?: Recent Episodes
Rebecca Roberts & Harriet Small
The PR, Comms and marketing podcast answering the things you would normally have asked someone really quickly about at an event or while making a brew in the office. Harriet Small and Rebecca Roberts catch up and tackle a different topic each week they think others in the industry would find useful.
We welcome Scott Field, Director of Communications at the British Olympic Association, onto this episode. We discuss how communications were led for Tokyo 2020, how TeamGB maintained momentum during the pandemic and how the story was told despite there being no crowds and limited access for press.
Building a career in sport, having worked at football clubs, the FA and now with TeamGB, we ask what the common misconceptions are about establishing a comms career within sport - namely, having an encyclopedic knowledge about a team or sport being essential, when actually good communications skills are the priority.

This is our last episode of Season3, a mini season for 2022! We are currently working on plans for Season 4 and if you'd like to get involved as a guest, partner or sponsor please email info@threadandfable.com
This episode we speak with Alexa Heinrich on accessible social media. Alexa founded Accessible Social outside of her 'day job' as Social Media Manager for St. Petersburg College in Florida.
With so much content being shared across social media by brands and organisations, the gaps in accessibility are ever apparent, something we wanted to explore with Alexa and understand why as communicators, we should all be building accessibility into our strategies as business-critical, not just as an add-on.
We find out how we can all improve our own social feeds and where we can go to get more help.

If anyone had predicted everything that's happened in 2022, we'd be surprised!
We recorded this live episode as a session at CommsHero week and talked about how to move with the tide of change; both from a broader sense and how that shapes the work we do as marketing and communications professionals, as well as professionally and personally.

We're back for a short and sweet Season 3, bringing you a handful of episodes to wrap up 2022 with.
First up, we're talking about the influencer campaigns and the impact on supply chain, wondering whether (at times) marketing, comms and operations talk...
We talk about the Adanola range that quickly ran out of stock following a Molly Mae campaign https://adanola.com/ and the Krissy Cela range, which you have to be quick or miss out on https://uk.oneractive.com/ - do these ranges effectively create a hype around them like the Crtz https://www.crtz.xyz/ brand, where drops are meant to be competitive and short lived, or are they potentially limiting customer engagement by often selling out even as a campaign begins?
Rebecca may not be able to pronounce it, but we also talk about the 501% rise in searches of the Negroni Sbagliato following a viral sound on TikTok, clipped from an interview by House of Dragons stars talking about their drink of choice. Stunning.
The cost of living communications focus, finds us listing some of the key principles we think are important as communicators, whether we have an internal audience or include it within external messaging.
A blog Rebecca wrote here on the cost of living crisis impacting students as well as a mention of Dan Slee's blog focusing on public sector comms.

This extended guest episode was recorded as part of our season 2 finale.
In this episode, we are joined by two titans of television and entertainment PR who are generally all-around nice guys. Sam Hodges and James MacLeod started their PR career at the BBC together working on shows such as Strictly Come Dancing. They have gone on to have top comms roles at ITV, BBC, Netflix, Channel 4 and Twitter between them.
During our conversation, we talked about what it is really like being at the top, moving a headquarters outside London, making the decision to switch industries from TV to tech, failure, reality TV, Ofcom and the most important question of all, how do shows get picked for Gogglebox.
At the time of recording the podcast, James MacLeod had stepped down as Communications Director at Channel 4, and remained as an advisor on the government’s new consultation relating to the broadcaster's future ownership and its review of public service broadcasting. James started his career at the BBC as a publicist and then later joined ITV, leaving there as Head of Press, Broadcasting.
Sam Hodges is a director at Aaqua. He has been the Head of Communications at the BBC , and Twitter, the Director of Content Comms at Netflix and a partner at the agency Freuds.

Clea, a senior lecturer at Goldsmiths’ University Media and Communications Department is one of the leading voices in the academia for the promotional professions of marketing, PR, and advertising. Not only is she an expert in the subjects that she teaches, but she also has in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Financial Markets. She is the author of several publications including her recent book, ‘Trust, Power and Public Relations in Financial Markets.
During our conversation, Clea was incredibly honest about NFTs, cryptocurrency and BlockChain, something we definitely struggle to get our heads around. We dive into the industry salary gap, how to prepare students for the future, job descriptions and what is missing in financial marketing campaigns.

In this episode, we kick off by talking about why sometimes it’s better to document rather than think of a new idea from scratch. Anyone who has heard, watched or read anything by marketer Gary Vaynerchuk, will know that content is all around us and telling compelling stories doesn’t have to be complex.
Our guest this week, is probably best known for his career as a sports broadcaster, Alex Payne although on most weeks can be found co-hosting the top Rugby Podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby with James Haskell and Mike Tindall, in 2017 he founded The Room. In this episode he talks about how the idea of The Room came about - many of the best ideas have a link to Twitter it seems, and what it means to start a tech business in the marketing industry.

In this episode, we talk about getting into the PR, Communications and Marketing industry after 30 years old and why coming into the profession later on in your career has its merits.
For our 5 minutes, we talk about how to communicate statistics and complex data. We explore why storytelling is important, the role television has played and why sometimes news jacking is a good idea when you have the data.

Trigger Warning: We do discuss fertility, baby loss and miscarriage in this episode. Feel free to skip it and listen to some of our other episodes, we more than understand. Harriet & Rebecca
In this episode, we talk about the fact that our business public relations, marketing and corporate communication is a people business. Working with people and understanding how to manage relationships is a core part of what we do. Knowing how to do that well can only be a good thing.
Our guest this week, is Emma Gilmartin, Head of Social Media & Student Comms at the University of Glasgow. We start by talking to Emma about her podcast, Hopes & Dreams Podcast which she started after experiencing baby loss and her own journey with fertility and wanted to use her skills as a communicator to create something to help others. With many large organisations and agencies introducing leave policies for staff who experience a baby loss such as John Lewis and Channel 4 we ask what needs to happen next.

In this episode, we talk about great brand collaborations and why they’ve worked. What to consider for your audience and why it may be a good idea to think to vet who you’re partnering with.
For our 5 minutes, we talk about the business of magazines publishing. The sector has suffered over the past decade with many titles closing and others being absorbed by larger media houses and now Condé Nast, one of the largest and oldest announcing that it will make many of its titles global seeing restructures and layoffs. What is next for the business of glossies?

In this episode, we reflect on Channel 4’s Black to Front. On September 10th, Channel 4 broadcast programming featuring Black presenters, actors, writers and experts, contributors, and programme-makers. It was done as part of the broadcaster’s commitment to represent and champion under-represented audiences and communities.
For our 5 minutes, we discuss the landmark case of Alice Thompson, an estate agent who won £185,000 at an employment tribunal. The sex discrimination case was heard after her employer refused to accommodate her need to work shorter hours to pick up her daughter from nursery. We talk flexible working for parents.

In this episode we start by talking about the unpaid one-year media and marketing placement advert that was put out by Birmingham City Football Club and why it’s a problem.
For our 5 minutes, we explore marketing to over 60’s. What campaigns we have seen, the segmentation of the audience and what needs to change.
Research by Lloyds Banking has shown that although people over 65 make up 17.7% of the population they only feature in 6.2% of advertising, however when they do feature in advertising and marketing the narrative follows the line of stereotypes.
'Indefensible' – Birmingham City FC slated for 12-month unpaid media and marketing placement

In this episode, we talk about a new law that is coming in Norway, which will force social media influencers to declare if their images have been modified. The rules will apply to any paid posts across every social media platform. This is being done to help body image pressures among young people.
We also speak to Raf McDonnell the founder of Talent & Brands. A man who has worked on every side of brand deals. Raf worked at Fosters Beer, Walkers Crisps and Coca-Cola and then moved into the Entertainment Industry as Senior Vice President at leading Record Label - EMI Music. He has been at the table for some of the biggest brand deals and represented everyone from Robbie Williams, One Direction, Kylie Minogue, Carrie Underwood, NE-YO, Ariana Grande, Gorillaz, Coldplay, Dua Lipa and Tinie Tempah. Raf shares with us his secrets, the best way to measure an effective partnership, and his experience of being a brand-talent matchmaker. He shares insight into the 25-year Gary Lineker Walkers brand deal and his work with Kylie Minogue in the Specsavers deal.

We share our thoughts on the 4-day work week and whether it would work for our industry. Is it time to think about a different approach after the success of Iceland’s trial, which has been the largest one in the World to date, with “overwhelming success”. For our 5 Minutes we talk about consumer loyalty and fandoms online. When does it become a problem and how do you interact with your audience when they hold significant power because of their numbers?

For our Season 1 finale, we bring you a special with Government Communications specialist David Pembroke, who also happens to be known to many in Rugby as ‘Pemby’, the communications advisor and most trusted confidant to England Coach Eddie Jones.
David has had a riveting career as a broadcaster, marketer, director of communications and now agency CEO. For 25 years, he has led, Contentgroup, one of Australia’s top communications agencies specialising in government and public sector communications but with a range of corporate clients.
Before setting up the Contentgroup, David was a journalist with ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and the Communications Director of Australian Rugby Union. He served as a communications advisor to the Australian Olympic Committee and served as an advisor to The Brumbies for several years.
This is a conversation about more than sport or government communications. It is one about career longevity, the future of the communications professional, being a trusted advisor, failure, decision-making, and storytelling.
In 2020, David set up the GovComms Institute and ran the inaugural GovComms Festival, a 24-hour communications conference with 170 speakers delivering over 100 hours of content to 1,569 attendees from 17 countries.

In this episode, we talk about brain fog and why it’s such a problem. Honestly, we’re feeling it and thought it was important to talk about it. As PR, Communications and marketing pros, we need to be switched on, but we’re also living through a pandemic that is affecting our minds and memory.
For our 5 Minutes, we have a chat about brand banter (or “brandter”). In recent weeks, Aldi and M&S have had an interesting exchange on Twitter. But aren’t the first. We’ve seen brands across every sector do it and about several issues. Sometimes, the jovial tone that brands use does cross the line, and there are dangers.

We talk Super Bowl Ads - who nailed it, who left us confused and who won the social media landgrab.
This useful article, Super Bowl 2021: brands play it safe but creativity shines through by John Harrington - PR Week https://bit.ly/2Zp4aXc by John Harrington at PR Week, summarised some of the main ones to watch. We talk about a newcomer to the sponsorship pool for the Six Nations. The return of Rugby has also meant the return of online abuse and abuse of women media personalities covering the sport. Maggie Alphonsi and Danielle "Nolli" Waterman received a barrage of sexist abuse on social media and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Bath Prop, Beno Obano on his England debut was targeted by trolls on Instagram.
This episode is a little longer than our usual episode because we’re exploring an issue we feel needs to have more discussion - online abuse and trolling. In this episode we speak with journalist and producer Florence Lloyd-Hughes about her experiences within sport and specifically when she has reported on men’s sport. This led to her not only having to report online abuse to the police but also to make her profiles private in order to control her experiences online in a way that helped her get on with her work as well as feel safe.
Florence’s work includes working for Women in Sport, Season Zine, Metro, Guardian and BBC London among others.
