Day in the Life of Hailley Griffis, Public Relations Manager at Buffer

On today’s show, I have Hailley Griffis who is the Public Relations Manager at Buffer.

I sat in on Hailley’s presentation with her colleague Brian during Podcast Movement and they discussed what it was like to grow and manage Buffer’s podcast, The Science of Social Media.

Because Hailley also works in the PR industry, I thought it’d be great to bring on someone who does a similar job to mine, except for a much bigger company.

Hailley and I talk about how she applied multiple times before landing a job at Buffer, what it’s like to work with a completely remote team, why Buffer puts an importance on being an open and transparent company with the public, what she struggles with in her career and so much more.

Excited for you to tune in and hope you enjoy!
