Duct Tape Marketing Podcast TAKEOVER: Traditional PR is Still a Fabulous Way to Stand Out
Show Notes

This is an episode with show notes from the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast.

Back in the day, you know ten years ago, I built some form of media relations into every marketing plan. As digital channels have taken more and more attention, it’s easy to push traditional media coverage aside, but do so at your own risk.

Getting a nice mention in a magazine or newspaper read by your ideal client is an awesome awareness and trust builder, but today it also comes with a high authority website link making it even more potent.

My guest for this week’s episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast is Christina Nicholson. She is a former TV reporter and anchor who is on the other side of the desk these days, helping small businesses tell their stories as the founder of Media Maven

She and I discuss best practices for getting the media’s attention and improving your PR efforts.

Nicholson is an award-winning journalist with more than a decade of experience anchoring, reporting, writing, blogging, video production, editing, excelling in social media, photography, and live TV. 

She has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, the Huffington Post, Time, Yahoo!, PR Daily, All Business Experts, on CNN, WTVJ in Miami, WPTV in West Palm Beach, News 12 in New York City, and many other media outlets.

What you’ll learn if you give a listen:

  • How to create a PR plan as part of an overall marketing plan
  • What role PR plays in personal branding
  • What businesses should look for in a PR firm
