Marr has led public affairs and crisis communications responses for some of the world\u2019s top companies, including BP and Shell. In 2008, he was on the frontline of the shutting down and restarting BP\u2019s operations during the historic Hurricane Ike disaster. Recently, he led public affairs for Shell\u2019s multi-billion dollar \u2018cracker\u2019 plant in Beaver, Pennsylvania \u2013 managing environmental group protests on one hand and shutting down and restarting operations during the pandemic, which impacted 8,000 employees. But perhaps what is most interesting about Marr is his experience before corporate America. Marr worked on Capitol Hill and then went out to serve New York\u2019s Governor George Pataki including as press secretary and as the state\u2019s lead economic development spokesperson in the 18 months that followed 9\/11. The state\u2019s role in the economic recovery and redevelopment of lower Manhattan that reshaped the city\u2019s skyline \u2013 was impacted by Marr. So what is Marr\u2019s take on today\u2019s media landscape and how \u201ccancel culture\u201d and social media sentiment is shaping public policy? This episode is timely as after a decade under construction, Pennsylvania\u2019s Shell Cracker plant is finally poised to open.
