Hello and welcome to this episode of Speak pr. My name is Jim James and I'm your host. This is the podcast for anybody who's got value locked up in their organization and they're just looking for some cost effective and easy ways to communicate that with their stakeholder groups. If that's you, welcome. Now, my background is that I've run an international public relations firm since 1995 and I've set up businesses on three continents. So what I share on this podcast are tools and technologies and some case studies that I know will work. And this is why I'm doing it, because I believe that everybody should have access to communications tools without necessarily having the cost of an agency. So let's talk today about how some companies use their internal departments or in the case of Elon Musk, they don't. Elon Musk this week has fired all of his internal public relations department. And I want to share with you what that.
