Welcome to the very first instalment in my #Startingout career series! I am so excited to start off this new series, I’ve loved interviewing some lovely professionals from around the country in a variety of sectors. But first, what is this all about?

The power of co-creation.

I do sometimes find that when you study a specific niche such as PR, you can become ever so slightly blinded to your industry. That’s not to say that this is a bad thing, I study a specialist subject to become a specialist in one area. I am learning about a small part which feeds into a much larger industry but a part that could be described as niche. However, that niche does mean that often I am looking at things from a particular PR angle. It’s always good to open your mind to other possibilities in order to learn…
