The Rest Is...Celebrity Traitors – The Power Of A Platform
Celebrity Traitors – The Power Of A PlatformThis week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle turn their attention to Celebrity Traitors - the hit BBC reality show that’s captured the nation’s imagination. The pair explore how appearing on a major entertainment platform like this can transform public perception and boost a celebrity’s career almost overnight.Jacki opens by reflecting on the casting choices, suggesting that while the format favours household names, she would have loved to see more of rising personalities such as Niko Omilana and Ruth Codd. She goes on to praise Cat Burns for using her appearance on the show to elevate her profile far beyond her already-impressive music career - a move underscored by her recent success on Strictly Come Dancing.Attention then turns to Joe Marler, whose blunt and outspoken style has divided viewers. Jacki shares details of a social experiment she ran on Instagram, where she questioned Marler’s behaviour during a tense press conference exchange - prompting an 'interesting' wave of public responses. The discussion highlights how social media amplifies reactions to authenticity, controversy, and celebrity behaviour.The conversation widens to include Kate Garraway and Nick Mohammed, with Lyle suggesting the show’s cast featured figures at the peak of their influence — a point Jacki challenges, arguing that not every casting decision was as strategic as it seemed. And of course, the episode wouldn’t be complete without celebrating Alan Carr, the show’s standout winner, who has been praised not only for his warmth and humour but also for his intelligence and emotional insight.From crisis moments to career-making opportunities, Jacki and Lyle unpack how Celebrity Traitors proves the true power of a platform - and how great PR can turn even the most unpredictable reality TV moments into gold.Join the conversation in the comments — and tell us: who would you like to see on the next series?For more The Rest Is PR, head to www.therestispr.com------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------✅ Subscribe: @TheRestIsPR------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen: https://shows.acast.com/the-rest-is-pr------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📱 Follow Us:Instagram: / @therestisprTikTok: / @therestisprLinkedIn: / www.linkedin.com/company/the-rest-is-pr/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#TheRestIsPR #CelebrityTraitors #BBC #AlanCarr #CatBurns #JoeMarler #KateGarraway #NickMohammed #NikoOmilana #RuthCodd #RealityTV #CelebrityNews #EntertainmentPR #PopCulture #MediaStrategy #PRPodcast #PublicRelations #ReputationManagement #PRInsights #TheTraitors #TheRestIsPRPodcast #TrendingNow #TVNews #PRStrategy Hosted on Acast.

The Rest Is...Harry & Meghan’s PR Opportunity – How Could They Profit From The Pariahs?
Harry & Meghan’s PR Opportunity – How Could They Profit From The Pariahs?On the latest episode of The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle examine how the recent news that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been stripped of his royal title might actually present a PR opportunity for Harry and Meghan. With the Royal Family facing yet another period of turbulence, could this be the perfect time for the Sussexes to reposition themselves and rebuild their image within — or adjacent to — the firm?Jacki sets the scene by outlining the criminal allegations levelled at Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, before exploring how his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, might once again turn to the media to share her story and generate both renewed public interest and her own income. The pair discuss how this unfolding situation could create both risks and openings for Harry and Meghan, as King Charles continues to tighten the royal circle and William’s future reign looms closer.Lyle questions whether 'less could be more' for the Sussexes’ comms strategy, while Jacki argues that consistency and coordination — even something as simple as aligning their public appearances — could go a long way in repairing their reputation. The conversation expands into how personal relationships, from Charles and Andrew’s complex dynamic to William and Harry’s ongoing rift, often intersect with PR strategy at the highest levels of influence.Jacki concludes that effective PR is as much about managing people as it is about managing perception — and that in some instances PR professionals can mend personal rifts. Might it be too little too late, however, as Jacki and Lyle both suggest the precedent set by King Charles with his unprecedented decision regarding Andrew could influence William's own choices when he ascends the throne himself.Join the conversation in the comments.For more The Rest Is PR, head to www.therestispr.com------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------✅ Subscribe: @TheRestIsPR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen: https://shows.acast.com/the-rest-is-pr------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📱 Follow Us: Instagram: / @therestispr TikTok: / @therestisprLinkedIn: / www.linkedin.com/company/the-rest-is-pr/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#TheRestIsPR #HarryAndMeghan #PrinceHarry #MeghanMarkle #PrinceWilliam #KingCharles #PrinceAndrew #SarahFerguson #RoyalFamily #RoyalNews #RoyalPR #CrisisComms #MediaStrategy #PublicRelations #ReputationManagement #Monarchy #BritishRoyals #PRStrategy #PRPodcast #UKNews #Communications #CrisisManagement #PRInsights #Sussexes #RoyalDrama #PopCulture Hosted on Acast.

The Rest Is...Andrew Mountbatten Windsor: A Prince No More - The PR Behind This Unprecedented Move
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor: A Prince No More - The PR Behind This Unprecedented MoveThis week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle unpack the seismic decision by King Charles to strip Prince Andrew of all his remaining royal titles and move him out of the Royal Lodge into private accommodation.Jacki poses the question on everyone’s mind — “Why now?” — while Lyle suggests this might be seen as a reactive move rather than a strategic one. The pair examine how this latest development fits into the Royal Family’s broader communications strategy and public image, particularly amid ongoing scrutiny of both the monarchy and individual members.Lyle highlights that the Royal Family is, ultimately, still a family — and that this decision must have been personally difficult for King Charles, especially given his current health challenges. Jacki adds that the timing makes this decision even more complex from a PR standpoint, as the Royal Household must balance empathy, tradition, and transparency.The episode concludes with a look ahead: what should the Royal Family’s communications plan be moving forward? Jacki outlines what she believes the Palace needs to do to rebuild trust, manage public perception, and strengthen the institution’s reputation in an era of unprecedented media attention.Join the conversation in the comments.For more The Rest Is PR, head to www.therestispr.com------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------✅ Subscribe: @TheRestIsPR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen: https://shows.acast.com/the-rest-is-pr------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📱 Follow Us: Instagram: / @therestispr TikTok: / @therestisprLinkedIn: / www.linkedin.com/company/the-rest-is-pr/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#TheRestIsPR #KingCharles #PrinceAndrew #RoyalFamily #RoyalNews #BuckinghamPalace #RoyalPR #CrisisComms #PublicRelations #MediaStrategy #PRAnalysis #ReputationManagement #Monarchy #BritishRoyals #PRStrategy #PRPodcast #UKNews #Communications #CrisisManagement #PRInsights Hosted on Acast.

The Rest Is...West End Girl - The PR Behind Lily Allen’s Tell-All Breakup Album
This week on The Rest Is PR, with Lily Allen having released her new album, West End Girl - a tell-all break-up record chronicling her separation from actor David Harbour - Jacki and Lyle analyse the timing of the album’s release, the content of the tracks, and what Allen’s next steps might be from a PR perspective.There’s no shortage of provocative moments on the album, with Allen directly addressing rumours around Harbour’s alleged infidelity and his desire for an ‘open marriage’ after Allen secured a role in a West End play. Jacki praises the album for its honesty and authenticity, commending Lily Allen herself, and notes that certain tracks resonated strongly with her given her own personal experiences.Lyle and Jacki also discuss the timing of the release, with Harbour about to embark on his own press cycle ahead of the final series of Netflix’s smash-hit Stranger Things, the show that catapulted him into the spotlight. Jacki suggests this might be clever timing - but could also stir controversy.The conversation turns to PR strategy, with Jacki and Lyle weighing up whether Allen might follow her previous approach of being overly open with journalists. Jacki advises her to let the music speak for itself while maintaining some of the provocative energy of her early career. They also candidly reflect on the ‘Old Lily Allen,’ noting her past struggles with drink and drugs, and express hope that she can now move forward in a way that celebrates her music without unnecessary drama.Join the conversation in the comments.For more The Rest Is PR, head to www.therestispr.com------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------✅ Subscribe: @TheRestIsPR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen: https://shows.acast.com/the-rest-is-pr------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📱 Follow Us: Instagram: / @therestispr TikTok: / @therestisprLinkedIn: / www.linkedin.com/company/the-rest-is-pr/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#LilyAllen #WestEndGirl #PRStrategy #MusicPR #EntertainmentPR #Podcast #CelebrityNews #BreakupAlbum #MediaStrategy #PublicRelations #PopMusic #PRTips #DavidHarbour #StrangerThings #Netflix #WestEnd #MusicRelease #AlbumDrop #PopCulture #MusicIndustry #SingerSongwriter #CelebrityBreakup #EntertainmentNews #TrendingMusic #PRInsights #PodcastLife #PRPodcast #MusicPRTips Hosted on Acast.

The Rest Is...The Dragons' Den Effect - The Impact The Show Can Have On The PR Of Businesses
The Dragon's Den Effect - The Impact The Show Can Have On The PR Of BusinessesThis week on The Rest Is PR, Lyle and Jacki explore what they’re calling 'The Dragon’s Den Effect.' Following the brilliant performance of previous podcast guests — and founders of Ivee Jobs — Amelia and Lydia Miller on Dragon’s Den, the pair take a deep dive into the impact that an appearance on the hit UK show can have on startup businesses and their PR.Jacki begins by praising the duo’s exceptional performance, as they secured investment from Deborah Meaden and Stephen Bartlett, before unpacking why they chose to appear on the show in the first place - to put themselves 'in the shop window.' She argues that appearing on Dragon’s Den shouldn’t come from a place of desperation, but as part of a carefully considered growth strategy for a business already on the rise. In a fun twist, Lyle asks Jacki to imagine herself as one of the Dragons — and together they play out what questions she’d ask potential entrepreneurs in the Den. The conversation concludes with a powerful reminder. Amelia and Lydia’s early focus on PR was no accident. It’s a testament to how storytelling, visibility, and communication are crucial to any brand’s success — and exactly why The Rest Is PR exists.Join the conversation in the comments.For more The Rest Is PR, head to www.therestispr.com------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------✅ Subscribe: @TheRestIsPR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🎙️ Listen: https://shows.acast.com/the-rest-is-pr------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📱 Follow Us: Instagram: / @therestispr TikTok: / @therestisprLinkedIn: / www.linkedin.com/company/the-rest-is-pr/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#TheRestIsPR #DragonsDen #AmeliaMiller #LydiaMiller #IveeJobs #DeborahMeaden #StephenBartlett #PRStrategy #BusinessGrowth #StartupSuccess #BrandBuilding #ReputationManagement #MediaNarrative #Entrepreneurship #PublicRelations #PopCulture #Podcast Hosted on Acast.
