PART 2 Bec Brown – from Professionally Trained Singer to PR Superstar!
You’ll be hard pushed to find ANYONE in the world who has met Bec Brown and doesn’t think she is the bee’s knees. Trust me. I was so excited (and proud) when I knew she had a book coming out as I thought she would make an excellent ‘Around the Grounds Guest’. And then I got a preview copy of the fabulous ‘You’ve Got This’ and on page 4 I read…. “I started out as a musician – mostly singing. I sang pop, jazz, musical theatre and opera. I’ve appeared on screen and radio, on stage with bands and in shows, have been a singing teacher in primary and high schools and have even been a children’s entertainer. Then I pivoted. I retrained and began a career in public relations, working on campaigns spanning entertainment, media, travel, food, fitness, retail, medicine, finance and more”
YOU HAD ME AT PIVOTED!!! And so, the magnificent Bec Brown fitted perfectly into my ‘So, I Quit’ brief and the rest is podcast history.
It was as much of a delight getting her on the pod as her incredible Bec Brown Brownies that she bakes and are her trademark in the Australian media space. Bec is the founder and MD at The Comms Department whose client list include radio royalty Kyle & Jackie O, Jonesy & Amanda, Bras N Things, Red Nose Day to name a few.
In between running a successful PR company, baking brownies and keeping fit Bec also found the time to write the incredible ‘You’ve Got this’. Combining 20+ years of creative experience and working with some of the biggest entertainment and media brands in the world, PR professional and founder of The Comms Department, Bec Brown brings you YOU’VE GOT THIS –the ultimate career hack for anyone wanting to build their dream career in any creative industry. Trust me it is a cracking read with frame worthy illustrations by Inga Campbell.
Enjoy our chat and to quote Jack Nicholson “Bec you make me want to be a better publicist” – obviously I tweaked the original line from ‘As Good As it Gets’ but you get my drift…
‘You’ve Got This’ is available wherever you buy your books – it is also available as an audio book voiced by some chick called Bec Brown.
