It’s my pleasure to share with you the latest episode of the Communicating Purpose podcast with Catherine Thomas, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Clarion Housing Group.
As the UK’s largest housing association, Catherine spearheads Clarion Housing Group’s efforts to shape government policy and drive positive change in the housing sector.
Before joining Clarion, Catherine held senior marketing and communications roles across the real estate and retail industries. Her expertise in destination marketing was refined at Land Securities, where she led communications for Victoria SW1, including the acclaimed Nova mixed-use development.
Catherine has also contributed to major real estate projects across Europe and the Middle East.
In this episode, we discussed:
🎯 How Catherine Thomas applies lessons from the fast-paced world of fashion PR to transform communication in the housing sector
💡 How a career misstep in the Middle East taught Catherine Thomas a lesson in humility and the true power of networking
📚What communications professionals can learn from the evidence-led practices of academia
🤝How nurturing your network can be the lifeline that saves your career when things don’t go as planned.
I hope you enjoy.
