4-day week in PR and Fandoms
Have You Got 5 Minutes? - A podcast by Rebecca Roberts & Harriet Small
We share our thoughts on the 4-day work week and whether it would work for our industry. Is it time to think about a different approach after the success of Iceland’s trial, which has been the largest one in the World to date, with “overwhelming success”. For our 5 Minutes we talk about consumer loyalty and fandoms online. When does it become a problem and how do you interact with your audience when they hold significant power because of their numbers?
