Tennessee Voices, Episode 340: Julia Bonner, Pierce Public Relations
Economic news over the last several months has created tremendous uncertainty.
Whether it's about inflation, energy prices or a potential recession, there have been many mixed messages that have confused citizens.
Add to that the latest news of the federal government bailing out depositors at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.
Julia Bonner, president of Pierce Public Relations, helps craft messages to communicate clearly and effectively.
On this episode of the Tennessee Voices podcast, Bonner shared her experience helping clients contend with uncertain, volatile times including the pandemic.
She also spoke about her involvement in the community.
She is the chair-elect of the Young Leaders Council, which helps train the leaders of the future. The organization started in 1985 to expand the base of volunteers in the community.
She is also chair of the board of the Nashville Film Festival, which has brought filmmakers from across the world to Music City to present movies that have gone to win accolades including the Academy Award. The 2023 festival is from Sept. 28 to Oct. 4.
