Quote of the Show:
 
“And you really should do a series of press releases, a proper PR campaign in order to see what works. And a lot of people will try a single press release. And just, take press releases off their marketing to-do list because it didn't work. And that's a shame because a proper PR campaign is like usually four to eight press releases on different strategies, hooks angles, and only then after you've done that, can you determine whether press releases are gonna work for you or not?” - Mickie Kennedy
