Margot Edelman stops by The Business Brew to discuss corporate communications as well as the Edelman Trust Barometer (see https://www.edelman.com/sites/g/files/aatuss191/files/2021-01/2021-edelman-trust-barometer.pdf). Edelman is an award-winning global public relations consultancy firm. Key findings from the 2021 Trust Barometer are as follows:

- Trust in business increased in 17 of 27 countries
- Trust is technology declined a substantial amount
- People turned to their employer for facts/trust
- There was a fairly substantial reduction in trust in China
- Social leaders are not trusted to do what is "right"

We hope you find this conversation educational and entertaining.
