This episode is about communicating impact clearly, making sense of complex information, and finding ways to engage people without diluting the message.

In this episode, I’m joined by Thea de Gallier, a communications consultant working in impact storytelling and digital content in the climate space, to talk about translating science, policy and sustainability reporting into communications people can actually understand.

Thea shares their journey from journalism, including several years working at the BBC, into freelance communications, and how their experience across digital journalism and content formats shaped their approach to clarity, tone and storytelling.

We discuss impact reporting, greenwashing, and the challenges of communicating sustainability in a landscape where regulation is shifting and scrutiny is increasing. Thea reflects on their work with organisations including the World Economic Forum, including time around Davos, and what that revealed about the gap between policy ambition and public understanding.

This episode is about knowing the value of your work, keeping sight of it, and being able to articulate it when it counts.

In this episode, I’m joined by Marianne Morgan, Insights and Evaluation Lead at the Information Commissioner’s Office, to talk about embedding measurement into everyday ways of working and using it to confidently demonstrate the impact of PR.

Marianne brings deep experience from PR agency environments into her specialist work in communications measurement. We discuss how insight can help you stay on track, strengthen decision-making, and show the worth of your work without everyone needing to become a “data person”.

The conversation also explores Marianne’s current work at the ICO and how evaluation supports communications around complex and sensitive issues. Marianne also reflects on returning from maternity leave, moving into a specialist role, and how developing deep expertise can open new paths in a PR career.
