On today's Marketing Speak, we are going to workshop PR strategies and processes with world recognized publicity expert Heidi Krupp-Lisiten. She is the Founder of Krupp Kommunications or K2 located in Manhattan. We'd all like to have more publicity and a bigger audience. Reaching this goal may seem difficult, but a huge part of it boils down to workshopping the answers to three relatively simple questions: who cares, so what, and finally, why me? If you aren't clear on how to answer these questions, or know why they're so significant, tune into this episode.
