Episode Summary - The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland

As the business landscape evolves, the spotlight is shifting. Traditionally, PR and marketing efforts have centered on promoting products, services, and corporate branding. But is that enough to thrive in 2025 and beyond?

In this episode of The Daily Hint, we dive into the game-changing concept of personal PR for CEOs and executives. The idea is simple yet transformative: People buy from people.
