Episode #13
Gerry Gunster, CEO of Gunster Strategies Worldwide, breaks down the evolution of political persuasion from the era of "Harry and Louise" to modern digital warfare. He explains why data-driven targeting can never replace qualitative listening and reveals the strategic missteps that led to the Brexit referendum result.
Episode #12
Megan Bloomgren, a partner at DCI Group, discusses the profound shifts in public affairs over her nearly 30-year career. She highlights the constant need for strategic positioning and action, emphasizing how data now accelerates these efforts. Bloomgren shares insights from her work transforming the American Petroleum Institute's narrative and advising top leaders through challenging transitions. She explains how effective public affairs requires strong judgment, data fluency, and a focus on demonstrable outcomes. The episode delves into building authentic coalitions and the importance of integrated C-suite strategies to manage reputation and political risk. Bloomgren expresses excitement about AI's potential to revolutionize data analysis, audience segmentation, and content creation, calling herself a "data nerd" proud of the industry's dynamic evolution.
Episode #11
In this month's Public Affairs Trends First Friday Briefing , host Neil Hughes examines the latest developments shaping public affairs, government relations and strategic communications. Topics include Craig Stevens of DCI Group on crisis coordination, Gov Business Review 's look at the growing strategic role of public affairs, Nathan Gonzales and the Public Affairs Council on how John Fetterman could affect Senate control, and Nicole Schlinger of CampaignHQ on why traditional public affairs campaigns are being challenged by data center development. Plus, a preview of Nicole Schlinger's upcoming appearance on the Public Affairs Trends podcast.
Episode #10
Veteran Republican pollster Micah Roberts, partner at Public Opinion Strategies, takes listeners inside the high-stakes world of public opinion polling. He explains how pollsters turn relatively small samples into meaningful insights, how the industry has evolved from landline calls to voter files and text-based surveys, and why reaching a representative audience is now more difficult and expensive. Roberts also explores how social media can rapidly reshape public opinion, how researchers detect bots and unreliable respondents, and what listeners should examine before trusting a headline-making statistic. Looking ahead to the U.S. midterm elections, the conversation considers declining institutional trust, economic concerns, ideological shifts, and what polling must do to remain credible in an era of AI, misinformation, and political division.
Episode #9
AI is transforming how public affairs professionals research issues, analyze audiences, create content, and respond to events. But as the technology becomes faster and more accessible, human judgment matters more than ever. In this special solo episode, host Neil Hughes revisits insights from recent conversations with Jordan Lieberman, Matt Kenney, Curt Mercadante, and Jonathan Grella. He explores why AI should remain the assistant rather than the architect, how smaller organizations can access increasingly sophisticated capabilities, why owning your audience matters, and how speed must be balanced with trust, authenticity, and restraint. Because when everyone can produce more content and target audiences more precisely, the real advantage is knowing what to say, who needs to hear it, and when saying less will be more persuasive.
