Welcome to the first episode of Embargo, the UK’s leading travel PR podcast! Hosted by Howard Salinger, this episode dives deep into the world of networking within the travel PR and journalism sector – but with a twist. We’re not just talking about the traditional networking you’re used to; today, we’re exploring the idea of Networking and Not Working.

Networking is essential for building your reputation, promoting your work, and forging valuable connections within the industry. But it’s not just about what you do – it’s about who you are. Your personal brand plays a crucial role in making lasting impressions and opening doors. As Howard shares a personal story about how a light-hearted comment on how his theatre background led to a new client, we’ll discuss why presenting yourself is just as important as what you can offer professionally.

In this episode, we’re joined by:

• Amy Skelding, Managing Partner at FINN Partners
• Lisa Minot, Head of Travel at The Sun

We’ll also hear from Queenie Shaikh, Freelance Journalist and winner of Freelance Journalist of the Year at The Baubles, who will share her own networking journey.

Before the discussion, we’ll have some fun with our travel game, What In The World Is That?

Stay tuned to the end to find out the answer.
