Margaret Key, Asia-Pacific CEO at Allison Worldwide and executive director at Stagwell, joins the Earned First podcast to discuss why she left one of the most successful holding groups in the business, what consolidation is really doing to PR's standing inside holding companies, and why she thinks the next decade will look nothing like the last.

Key also talks about Korea's underrated role in the regional comms landscape, the unbundling of senior talent into independent and fractional practices, and what still needs to change for women at the top of the industry.
