Today we are broadcasting from a new locale…..”Taxidermy Chic”, or Mark’s loft, so we apologize in advance for the echo…he’s got some super high ceilings.  We discuss the topic of where PR ends and product people start (and vice versa). And, the question of whether or not it’s important for PR people to gather product knowledge/experience.

Our guest, Marie Williams formerly an account executive at SHIFT Communications (now with Meraki), joined us for a French bottle of bubbly.  The bottle is Ariston Aspasie “Carte Blanche” Brut Champagne. 

Banter in the podcast includes understanding why PR is helpful in the product process, putting lipstick on a pig, beating a mistress and understanding the product cycle to incorporate it in the PR strategy.  We wrap it up with a quick review of the tasty bubbly.
