8.1.2024 - Barbara Hunter

Steve Barrett, PRWeek
About this episode

Barbara Hunter, founder and namesake of Hunter PR, was one of the true pioneers of the PR industry in the years after World War II — and even more remarkable, she did so while often being the only woman in the room. 

She talks about acquiring an agency, founding another — and the occasional three-martini lunch in the “Mad Men” era — on the latest edition of The PR Week podcast. 

Also on the agenda, the top marketing and communications news of the week: 

- Olympics week one, and medal-worthy campaigns and partnerships; 

- Risque and safe Deadpool & Wolverine marketing; 

- Publicis acquires a creator marketing firm, and much more.
