The PR Week

Episode Summary

The founder and CEO of the Acceleration Community of Companies drops by a special Halloween edition of PRWeek’s podcast.

Episode Notes

The latest guest on The PR Week podcast is Michael Nyman, who split from PMK-BNC in 2018 to found the Acceleration Community of Companies. He’s since built the network by acquiring agencies, including a majority stake in New York-based PR firm DKC.  

Nyman talks about why he calls Acceleration a “doing company” rather than a holding company, and about the top marketing and communications news of the week, including the closing pitches by Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. 

Plus, it’s Halloween — and PRWeek has an especially frightening poll of the scariest things that send a shiver up the spines of PR pros. 

Also on the agenda: the biggest marketing and communications news of the week, such as people moves at 

PwC,  Taylor  and Wells Fargo
