Ashley Feraude in conversation with Kate Lord, who heads up Akin. The agency provides expert services in PR, Govt relations and comms services with a strong lean into the tech sector.
Kate has always been a passionate communicator, driven by her curiosity for unpacking complicated. That drive has seen her working in PR across the hospitality factor, in massive worldwide agencies before heading to Canberra to launch Akin.
We discuss the journey from experience gathering to expertise and specialisation, common personality traits among comms individuals, how to have a work-life balance, and even a new margarita business pitch!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
