Ep. 78 Why the Construction Industry Is Losing the PR Battle and How to Win It
Description
Despite building everything around us, construction remains misunderstood by the public and too many leaders are afraid of the spotlight.
In this powerful episode, Leanne Tritton, founder of ING Media and Co-Founder of Don't Waste Buildings, reveals why the built environment struggles to tell its own story and what must change. From the fear of unscripted interviews to the missed power of podcasts, this is a call to arms for confident, human storytelling.
We explore:
• Why traditional PR strategies don’t work in modern media
• The hidden opportunity in podcasts and personal voice
• What’s stopping construction from owning its impact
• Why the industry can’t afford to stay silent on sustainability
• How to build trust without losing control
This is essential listening for any leader who wants their work and values to be seen and heard.
