E04 Laura Reilly: Crafting Microsoft Office marketing messaging (interview)

Words Work at Microsoft Podcast, a podcast about about how Microsoft culture has evolved, starting with the way we talk

In this episode, we talk to Laura Reilly, Senior Writer on the Microsoft Office Brand Experiences Team, about putting people back at the heart of productivity. Laura's career started in journalism, chasing that illusive scoop before the printing press could churn out the morning edition. But then destiny jumped in in the form of a Little Caesar's commercial that yanked her career train onto a different track in 30 breathless seconds. Then, those 30 seconds transformed into a 15-year agency and in-house advertising career, for brands spanning Geek Squad and AMEX to Windows and Office. On the Words Work At Microsoft Podcast, we’ll be chatting about how Microsoft culture has evolved, starting with the way we talk. In each episode we’ll interview someone within the Microsoft writing community, giving you an inside look at how we approach our work. And, hopefully, offering up a heavy dose of trips and tricks along the way. Special thanks to Sokolovsky Music for our funky background music: https://soundcloud.com/sokolovskymusic/funk-free-music
