Diverse Platforms: Think outside the traditional press box. Podcasts, YouTube channels, public speaking, and networking are powerful avenues to share your message far and wide.
Context is Key: Understand your audience and where they consume information. Whether it's a local newspaper or a national publication, knowing where to place your message is essential for making an impact.
PR vs. Social Media: While social media is an excellent tool, PR complements it by amplifying your reach and connecting you with new audiences.
