Bring back the hamburglar!

We’re joined by sisters Claudine and Olivia Blondeau — the co-founders behind Eau Bags, the recycled nylon bag brand that's gone from a spare bedroom in Brisbane to David Jones, The Iconic and a global community in just four years. We get into the real, messy version of building a brand from scratch: starting with $10K and three styles, the wine bar that took a chance on them as their first stockist, the beach photoshoot that landed them a Vogue cover model (yes, really), copycat culture, sales as a brand building activity, and the DM that changed everything. Honest, warm and packed with practical lessons for anyone building, or thinking about building, a product business.

With the recent closure of Aussie media mainstays like T Australia, Cosmo Australia, and Business News Australia and the Beckham family fallout dominating headlines in recent weeks, this episode unpacks two cultural moments shaping the future of PR in real time.Lucinda and Courts dive into what the latest industry shake-ups reveal about the evolution of media, the shifting role of traditional press, and why modern publicity is more layered than ever. From the decline of legacy publishing models to the rise of multi-channel storytelling, they explore how PR is evolving beyond placements into strategy, amplification, and audience-first thinking. We then turn to the Beckham family drama as a live case study in crisis comms, narrative control, and the power of (strategic) silence.

In this episode, we say a heartfelt goodbye to Lulu, our OG podcast queen, TikTok wizard, and the glue that’s held this mic’d-up circus together since day one. We reflect on her time at BPR, the legacy she leaves behind, and why every PR team needs a Lulu in their group chat (and their inbox). But it’s not all sad goodbyes… we’re also unpacking some of the wildest campaigns and media moments of the month, including Sydney Sweeney’s GQ Man of the Year interview (the most baffling profile we’ve seen all year?), the latest VOGUE cover, and a few more campaign reflections. Oh, and a little bit of opera singing thrown in there (soz to your ears in advance).    Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/baylypr/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@baylypr Visit our website: https://www.baylypr.com/ Thank you to Clearshot Digital for making this podcast possible: https://clearshot.digital/  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

KJ Apa’s wigged-out alter ego is dancing through the streets with fake teeth and a British accent, Anna Wintour has named her successor at Vogue, and we’re trying to figure out if culture has officially entered its PR fever dream... First up, Courtney and Teagan dive into the Mr Fantasy phenomenon that has TikTok in a chokehold — wigs, street serenades, Chipotle brand deals and all. But is this a calculated PR masterclass, or just a celebrity in his chaos era?  Then it’s over to Vogue’s marble halls, where Chloe Malle — a self-proclaimed “proud nepo baby” — has officially stepped into Anna Wintour’s shoes. Is this the dawn of a new Vogue era or just the soft launch of legacy media 2.0? It’s wigs, Wintour, and way too much discourse… welcome to the chaos economy I guess!  Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/baylypr/Follow up on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@baylyprVisit our website: https://www.baylypr.com/Thank you to Clearshot Digital for making this podcast possible: https://clearshot.digital/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
