This week on The Rest Is PR, the focus turns to Harry and Meghan, mounting staff changes, and what repeated communications shake-ups say about long-term strategy, or the lack of strategic thinking.
In this episode:
• The departure of Harry and Meghan’s Chief Communications Officer, Meredith Maines, after less than a year in the role
• The subsequent step-down of James Holt, Executive Director of the Archewell Foundation, and what his continued involvement signals
• The rebrand from Archewell Foundation to Archewell Philanthropies, and the shift from charity to non-profit organisation
• A close look at the contrasting statements surrounding both exits — and what their inconsistencies reveal
• Why relying on “yes-men” over experienced, challenging advisers continues to undermine their PR strategy
• The significance of the timing of these departures and the geographical move at the centre of Holt’s exit
• Comparisons with the Beckham model — and what Harry and Meghan could learn from a more disciplined, long-term approach to reputation management
