#AMA Q: What would you advise comms people who have to ensure an embargo and can’t share much detail? @CallumBurroughs says "We all get the game we have to play with embargoes. I don’t know many people who break an embargo so you can assume we’ll agree to it." #askmediaanything

If the company is doing interesting things, it's worth starting a relationship. @CallumBurroughs says, "Selfishly, it might be a good time to jump on the rocketship." #AMA
