Hello and welcome to Season 6 and Episode 104 of the Public Sector Marketing Show.
In today’s episode I’m getting serious. Serious about the disruption of mainstream media, attacks on journalists and the threats to our democracy.
Online hate is increasing, politicians are hanging up their political boots as it has become too much and decision-makers fear backlash and personal attacks.
I’ll talk about the challenges to democracy and the role of media, social media and the challenges governments, politicians and public sector are facing right now.
I really do worry about the future of democracy, and it is something we cannot take for granted. I really understand that people are angry, and that social media has democratised society in a way like never before. We can all have our say on any issue and reach tens of thousands of people on our own social networks.
But while citizen journalism has added a new dimension to media as we know it, we need strong and independent as well as strong state media outlets like never before.
I speak to an expert in this field, Marius Dragomir, who is the Director of the Center for Media, Data and Society.
Let’s dive in!

Hello and welcome to Season 6 and Episode 102 of the Public Sector Marketing Show.
The rules of PR and marketing are changing so fast, faster than we can say transformation.
But in today’s show I want to look more specifically at our work in public relations – how we engage target audiences and get them to know, like and trust us.
It’s becoming more difficult for sure, with AI, Deep Fake and the misinformation revolution online trying to divide and conquer.
So, I’m going to try to unpack how we can revive our PR skills of old in the new digital age.

Hello and welcome to Season 6 and Episode 101 of the Public Sector Marketing Show.

The influencer marketing industry is worth over €21 billion euro and growing.

Hello and welcome to Season 6 and Episode 98 of the Public Sector Marketing Show.
I love the Internet and how it has democratised the voice of citizens, the world of work and media. However, it has some dark sides and the latest negative trend is deep-fake.
The combination of the Internet, social media, generative AI give those with malicious intentions huge opportunities. And manipulated media is now mainstream and we all need to watch out for it.
I already mentioned that it’s election year in a previous episode and I predict that deep-fake will be a massive feature this year.
So let’s dive into the world of deep-fake and how you can protect public sector reputation and communications.

Hello and welcome to Season 6 and Episode 96 of the Public Sector Marketing Show.
Are you surprised I’m talking about TikTok again?
No, don’t be.
They recently released their 2024 TikTok Trends report and if I have learned anything about social media over the past 20 years, it’s that the social network know exactly how consumer behaviour is changing because we are telling them!
So in today’s show I am giving you that report in my words, but more than that, how you can use their insights on other social networks.
Because, there are many government and public sector agencies who are not using the app because of the data security threat.
Although I think your absence is problematic in the long run!

In this episode I’m giving you a masterclass in mobile video strategy to take your public sector marketing to a new level.
In 2023 people are watching, on average, 17 hours of online video per week. That's actually fallen from an average of 19 hours in 2022. Globally, people are watching around 84 minutes worth of videos every single day.
We prefer shorter videos, thanks to TikTok. Other social networks have followed suit with the TikTokification of social media. Specifically, videos under three minutes fall into a sweet spot according to HubSpot.
