Less Jargon, More Reality: My Chat with Patrick Van de Wille on The Pitch Perfect Podcast

Written By Noah Dye

I recently had a great, honest conversation with Patrick Van de Wille on The Pitch Perfect Podcast, and I want to share it with you.

I've spent a lot of time in this industry, including a previous run as an EVP of North America at LEWIS PR. If you know me, you know I approach my work, my clients and my career with a focus on getting shit done.

In the episode, we tackled the hard stuff:

  • Agency Life: We discussed the genuine difficulties of the agency model and what it manages to deliver to clients versus the high demands it puts on its own people.

  • Tough Beginnings: I shared some of my own career journey, including navigating multiple crises, like trying to get established right when the dot-com boom collapsed.

  • Where Things Stand: We covered the current state of the communications business and dug into business development, which is a key passion for both me and Patrick.

Give it a listen! You can find the full discussion here: Ep. 8 - Noah Dye, Spoken Voice PR on The Pitch Perfect Podcast.
