WMTW 030: Trevor Young – PR Warrior and Author of Microdomination [Podcast]
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
In this episode I’m talking with Trevor Young, the PR Warrior. He is the author of MicroDomination and has worked in public relations and communications for over 20 years. He has started and sold 2 businesses and merged a third with the world’s largest independent PR agency.
Personally he’s a passionate educator and loves listening to 1960s hard-bop jazz – he even gave me a quick sample while we were recording! He’s a Geelong Football Club supporter (which we won’t hold against him) and is plotting and planning the Great Australian Crime Novel.
We talk about:
- How the media has changed – Paid, Earned, Shared and Owned and what you can do to maximise them.
- How to craft a story and content to win publicity
- What he means by The Connected Brand
- And lots more!
