Do you know the difference between marketing and PR (aka Public Relations)? Small businesses often don't think PR is something that can be used to grow their brands but it can actually be a valuable tool to have in your marketing toolbox. In this episode, I'm talking to Lauren Cockerell, President of Kwedar & Co., a PR & marketing firm. She's here to demystify the world of PR and marketing for us. These two are like the yin and yang of business functions - different yet crucially connected. And who better to guide us through this maze than Lauren? Her insights on how marketing aids sales and PR bolsters management are invaluable.
We dive into the realm where PR and marketing meet. Ever wondered how to cozy up to Gen Z? Lauren shares her wisdom on that and more. Discover how to find your business niche and pitch to publications in a way that they can't resist. We even take a deep dive into the power of reputation in PR and marketing, and the many ways B2B enterprises can leverage PR for growth.
The second half of the episode is a gold mine! We discuss third-party endorsements and the incredible atmosphere they create for your marketing activities. Plus, Lauren also doles out actionable advice on a PR-focused task that can accelerate business growth. Whether you’re a business rookie or in the midst of change, don’t miss out on these strategies to authentically grow your brand.
