In this episode of “Policy Communications is a Thing” (PCIAT), Bump’s podcast, we sat down with Augusta Ramaccioni, Director of Programmes and Operations at The Parliament, about how to stand out and make an impact in Brussels.

Augusta shared her journey from Friends of Europe to Politico and now to The Parliament (formerly The Parliament Magazine), where she oversees events, branded content, and commercial strategy. We got into the recent rebrand of the 30-year-old publication and what it means for Brussels’ media landscape today.

We also discussed what it takes to thrive in a city where people can be shy about reaching out, why curiosity and boldness matter for building networks, and how media outlets are evolving to stay relevant to policymakers and stakeholders.
