The Rest Is...Astronomer CEO Kisscam Scandal at Coldplay Concert — The Viral Fallout Explained
Description
CEO CAUGHT ON KISSCAM?! Viral Scandal, Coldplay Lyrics & Crisis Comms 101 🎤
This week on The Rest Is PR, Jacki and Lyle dive into the wildest viral scandal of 2025 — and it all started at a Coldplay concert. 🎶👀
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught on the kiss cam with his Head of HR, in a clip that instantly exploded across social media. Since then, Byron has resigned, Astronomer launched an internal investigation, and a fake statement — allegedly from Byron and ending with Coldplay’s Fix You lyrics — has only added fuel to the fire.
In this episode, we break down:
- How this became 2025’s most talked-about clip 📈
- What Astronomer got right in their crisis comms playbook ✅
- Why Grace Springer — the woman who filmed it — may have had deeper motivations 📱
- What Jacki would advise a CEO caught in a moment like this 🧠
- And yes… Lyle may or may not sing Fix You 🎤 (you’ve been warned)
💬 Would you have posted the video? Did Astronomer respond well? Or should they have done more?
