Behind The Media

Food, Beverage, and hospitality brands/venues: this episode is for you!

On this very casual and giggly episode of Behind The Media, Juliana picks the brain of Aly Walansky, one of the top food/beverage and travel writers in the nation. Aly shares insight on how brands can stick out to editors in a saturated market, how she decides what branded events she will attend vs decline, what startups, new venues, or brands with minimal budgets can do to get media attention, PR/pitching do's and don'ts and more.

Aly is a food and travel journalist with more than two decades of experience at dozens of online and print publications like Forbes, Today Show, Food Network, Travel + Leisure, and more. She was rated the #1 food journalist by Muck Rack in 2022, and one of their top 10 journalists overall in 2023 and 2024 and has a daily substack newsletter where she shares all her current projects, source needs, and industry insights.

Sean has years of experience as a health and fitness professional and has an intense but inspired approach to helping others achieve their goals.

You know that feeling at the end of the week when you’re finally done? And no matter how much stuff went awry, it’s finally over and you can sit down, kick your feet up, and crack open a beer (if you’re over 21, of course). This week, Juliana sits down with Max Barrett, co-founder of the popular Instagram account, Friday Beers. Max Barrett and his brothers built an entire company on the incredible feeling of a beer at the end of the week and during this episode, he takes listeners behind the scenes on the story behind building and growing the Friday Beers brand, the power of meme marketing, transitioning from a corporate job to working alongside his brothers, and why Dua Lipa hates them.
