About this episode

Jim O’Leary has been Weber Shandwick’s North America CEO for less than nine months — joining from top rival Edelman — and it’s been a busy nine months. In that time, he’s brought on talent from his former agency and other firms and worked to bolster his network’s strengths in AI and elsewhere. 

He joins the latest edition of The PR Week podcast  to talk about that and the top marketing and communications news of the week, including PRSA’s communications about the Israel-Hamas war , campaigns from Campbell’s Chunky and other topics.
