The importance of sharing your story with Julie Lilliston
Manage episode 432916643 series 2888576
I just had the most incredible chat with Julie Lilliston, a PR powerhouse who's been kicking ass and taking names for 10 years in her own communications firm. We dove deep into the world of publicity, storytelling, and the head-trash that keeps us from shouting our awesomeness from the rooftops. Julie dropped some serious knowledge bombs about building relationships, finding your niche, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is just ask for help. Trust me, you're gonna want to grab a notebook for this one.
Can't-miss moments:
- The "ick factor" that'll make potential clients run for the hills. Are you guilty of this?
- So you finally worked up the courage to submit a pitch and *crickets*? Julie's got some mic-drop advice on handling media silence...
- The unexpected way Julie found her niche (and where to look if you've been struggling to find yours)...
- Collaborators vs competitors: Julie and I share some STRONG opinions on where to focus your energy for faster growth...
- The two magic words Julie swears will make your pitch irresistible to any media outlet...
