EPISODE 31: Can Cybersecurity Overcome its PR Problem? Building Your Brand and Social Capital with Sarah Evans, PR and Marketing Specialist

Welcome to Compromising Positions!

The tech podcast that asks non-cybersecurity professionals what we in the industry can do to make their lives easier and help make our organisations more prepared to face ever-changing human-centric cyber threats! 

For the longest time podcast host, Lianne Potter has been saying: “Cybersecurity has a PR problem!” So what better way of tackling this problem than to get on the show an actual PR and marketing expert?

This week we are joined by Sarah Evans, the head of digital PR at Energy PR. Sarah has over 12 years of experience in SEO, digital PR, digital marketing, content and social media.

In this episode ‘Can Cybersecurity Overcome its PR Problem? Building Your Brand and Social Capital’ - we’re going to learn how to target our cybersecurity message for maximum effect, how to rebuild your team's image, learn what marketing and PR really think about cybersecurity, and learn how to be prepared during a public cybersecurity incident with a 101 on crisis comms.

We will also shed off our desire to the the hero in the story and transition in a more useful role, that of cybersecurity sage as we deep dive into brand personas!
