I’ve been launching and growing beauty, health and wellness businesses since the day I became an entrepreneur.
I’ve sold my products in big box retailers like Sephora and been featured in media outlets from Entrepreneur to Elle.
Since then, as a brand strategist I’ve consulted with over 200 brands ranging from Mented Cosmetics, Arcona, Kahina Giving Beauty, Glamlite, Mahalo, Brooklinen, ScentBird and more. Of those, I’ve helped our brands land PR in NY Post, Well + Good, Elle, New Beauty, Forbes, Byrdie, Allure and more.
But what’s most important is that I believe that you too can have an iconic brand, land press in national media without having connections or a huge collection of products. You can still have PR success.
And this is exactly what we’re going to be diving into in the masterclass.
This masterclass is a focus on holiday gift guide pitching so you too can land buzzy media placements and accelerate your brand reach and sales.
If you’re committed to landing press this holiday season then I can’t wait to short-track your learning curve and help you get there faster.
