Welcome to the PRmoment Podcast.

This week we’re chatting to Kat McGettigan, founder of Fine Lines.

Thanks so much to our PRmoment Podcast partners The PRCA.

3 mins “There are 3 pillars to good growth.”

“You’ve got to service the wife!”

6.30 mins What is a good agency proposition? When is niche, too niche? 

“Redefining your proposition can be a vanity project but if done well it can be transformational.”

On agency positioning: “There's a lot of genericism and overclaiming.”

18 mins What is a good agency tone of voice?

19 mins Agency award wins are a proof point of the quality of your work.

20 mins Is it more about the credentials of your work, than an agency proposition?

24 mins Kat talks about her new launch Lonely Female Founders Club.
