The PR Week: 6.11.2026 - Jim O’Leary, Penta Group

This week’s guest on The PR Week podcast is Jim O’Leary, an alum of Edelman and Weber Shandwick who recently joined Penta Group as CEO. O’Leary talks about why he switched firms and what the agency of the future looks like. Plus, the biggest PR and communications news of the week, including the completed Golin Ketchum merger, a new healthcare leader at Allison Worldwide and an interesting NBA Playoffs campaign starring Chipotle and Timothée Chalamet. And it wouldn’t be The PR Week podcast without some banter about the start of the World Cup, so tune in to see who PRWeek’s staff is supporting.
