17: Demystifying PR for Small Business Owners with Pippa Goulden


Listen Later

This week, I’m joined by Pippa Goulden - PR expert, entrepreneur and founder of The PR Set.

After 15 years working in the world of PR, Pippa saw a gap in the market: small business owners wanted to harness the power of publicity but didn’t know where to start. So, she made it her mission to demystify public relations and help founders, entrepreneurs and start-ups get known for what they do - without big agency fees or insider contacts.

Through The PR Set, Pippa now supports hundreds of women to build their brands, land press coverage, and share their stories with confidence. Her DIY PR members and clients have appeared everywhere - from This Morning and Stylist to top podcasts, industry panels and brand collaborations.

💡 “You don’t need a little black book to make big PR moves - just the confidence to send the email.”

In this dynamic and insightful conversation, we explore:

✨ How motherhood inspired Pippa to build a business on her own terms
✨ The mindset shifts needed to pitch yourself and your story
✨ Overcoming fear and rejection in PR and business
✨ Why small businesses have an advantage when it comes to storytelling
✨ How to make PR about your audience, not your ego
✨ Practical ways to start promoting yourself today - without overwhelm

About The Host:

I'm Victoria Phipps – a Mum of two, family photographer, charity co-founder, marketing person and now podcaster! 🎙️
I was raised by a nurturing Mother and an entrepreneurial Father and have inherited traits from both, so the tension between ambition and motherhood is one I grapple with on a daily basis!

I’m fascinated to hear the stories of other women on a similar path, who are striving to build thriving businesses whilst being present for their children. It's a tough juggle, but I hope the conversations shared on this podcast help Mums in business feel less alone and inspired to keep going in pursuit of their dreams.
