Anje shares how small business owners should go about getting the attention of their local media and then we talk dollars and cents—how much does it cost to work with a PR agency.
Do you know the difference between a publicist and PR professional? Is there one? If there is, which one do you need?
Anje sets the record straight.
Think you’re ready for national or international coverage?
Anje answers all these questions and shares how you can create a winning PR strategy for your business.
