This week on Smart in Public, the Katies welcome Cristin Culver, founder of Common Thread Communications, to the pod. Cristin's approach to comms is unique -- and it has to be given she works across the Fintech, Proptech, and Legaltech industries. Her highly ROI driven comms strategies remove the safety net of saying 'comms is hard to measure' from her vocabulary, and her clients love her for it.
Learn how Cristin uses hybrid comms strategies, including the power of local storytelling, and hear her perspectives on the role of AI in modern PR. We dive into the significance of understanding local markets and the dynamics between B2B and B2C communications, and also learn a little bit about Cristin's challenges in the kitchen. Huge thank you to Cristin for coming on the pod - we laughed A LOT and learned even more in this one, and think you will too.
