Tam explains that marketing and PR go hand in hand as appropriate messaging is crucial in developing a successful marketing campaign. She also advises business owners to be clear about their demographics, including age group, income, and nationality, before working with a marketing company.

Highlight:

01:01 -  If I look back 30 years and I said, what was the first thing that I wish I would have had? I wish I would have had an opportunity to sit down with a PR person and really just put it all on the table and get the help to really break apart all of the facets of my business so that I could be able to build a Coca Cola, build a clientele. That would be longevity, not just a short term trendy or viral campaign because traditional values are Polo, Pepsi. So if it was me and I could go back 20 years and reshape my business, I think I would start with consulting with a publicist.
