I talk to Madeline De'Cort, a rising PR professional and Communications Coordinator at the pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca to find out what it is like to climb the early PR career ladder in today’s fast-changing, pressurised world. We look at how to navigate the culture shock of moving from a small PR agency to a corporate in-house role, the challenges of the modern job market, and exploring how AI is actively reshaping the day-to-day reality for the newest generation of communicators.
