π§Earned Media or Bust: Why PR Beats Paid in the Long Term
Brian and Brendan crack a cold one with PR powerhouse Cathy Summers, who brings 20+ years of Silicon Valley media savvy to the table.
They dig into why earned media still matters in a world dominated by Google, LinkedIn, and AI-powered ad platforms. From building credibility to lasting search visibility, Cathy explains how PR can out-punch paid when it's done rightβand when it really isn't worth a press release.
You'll learn:
* Why the best PR starts with story, not spin
* How AI and SEO now depend on earned content
* When a press release doesn't make sense
* Why the trades still matterβand how to use them strategically
* The myth that "any press is good press" (spoiler: it's not)
Whether you're planning your next campaign or trying to stay out of PR trouble, this episode has the insights B2B marketers need to scale smart.
