CXOs, if you’re saying “We want coverage in Economic Times / Times of India” in the early days of PR, check yourself. Your ego is talking. PR isn’t a tool to boost your ego. PR connects you to your target audience by discussing solutions they need on their trusted platforms. That takes: 1. A clear understanding of your audience. 2. A deep dive into your solutions. 3. Knowing the media platforms that matter. All of this requires time. Engage in PR only if you’re ready to commit.

I had no idea this would happen when I started a PR agency. I NEVER thought I’d go from red carpet reporter to building a public relations agency. And I definitely never expected to leave Hollywood to work with Founders and CEOs. But here we are. ✨ CEOs swiftly became my new “celebrities,” and my mission is to make more purpose-driven, heart-centered founders “famous.” I get to wake up everyday and connect with business owners who are WAY out of my league. I get to dive into the intricacies of their profound stories, and decide how to tell them to the world. I had no idea I’d be able to witness the power the media has, not just on celebrities, but on Founders too. We’re in an era where entrepreneur personal brands are becoming empires. À la: Jay Shetty Steven Bartlett Lewis Howes  Brené Brown  Gary Vaynerchuk  Mel Robbins  Gabby Bernstein Tom Bilyeu Emma Grede Joe Dispenza Ed Mylett Joe Rogan Andrew Huberman And with their empires, they're able to impact millions with their message. Are you an *almost* "famous founder?" DM me if you're ready for the next level. #brandawareness #PRforfounders #pragency #mediaexposure

How do you build a healthy 9-figure business when your audience churns every year? Tough question. Last night at a Mindshare, Inc. 2024 Cohort meeting, Timothy Chi CEO of The Knot and Founder of WeddingWire shared the story of going from a scrappy startup putting flyers on cars at bridal shows to running a disciplined well-oiled machine that dominates big life event planning worldwide. It's a blend of experimenting, making mistakes, and doubling down on things that work. • Sales • Culture • Product • Financing • Leadership • Partnerships Mindshare is CEOs learning from other CEOs. I'm wrapping up my final term as a board member in January. So grateful to be part of this network. In fact, I sold one of my businesses to a public company thanks to a connection by a Mindshare member. We'll soon be accepting nominations for next year's cohort. DC area CEOs of product companies: ping me if interested.

Your #business visibility should be a lot more than just going on FB a few times a day and telling people to buy your stuff. Next level leaders and industry celebs leverage vis as a force multiplier. This means focusing on areas that most people ignore. - Industry media paints you as a leader of your craft and what you do. Its a very strong positioning tool and there are magazines that focus on nearly any industry - Social media should be deliberate, strategic, and planned. Make content good looking and digestible. - Omnipresence means people see you in more than one place consistently - Media interviews should be pre planned with a strong angle, key talking points and a call to action at the end These are small actions that aren't difficult to implement but can pay off for your business. Need help getting these started? Let's talk. - Rob the Warrior Strategist #pr, #media, #celebrity, #sandiego
