How Amy Bartko Became a Leading PR Expert for Family Products


Listen Later

“A lot of people have the misconception that PR is only intended for large brands, and that is so not true. PR is really a formula, right? It is building brand awareness, gaining visibility to earn credibility, which equals profitability.”


Amy Roberson was climbing the corporate ladder when she realized that being gone for 12 hours a day and having a nanny raise her young son just wasn’t the life she wanted for herself… And that’s when she quit her role in medical sales and started her entrepreneurial journey—and she hasn’t looked back since. Today, Amy is the founder of Chatterbox, a public relations and marketing agency. As a seasoned PR professional and juvenile brand expert, Amy shines in building brands and promoting products for families from pregnancy through childhood. With over 25 years of strategic communications experience, she has a profound understanding of how to engage busy parents effectively. Her agency has successfully placed clients in top media outlets, enhancing their visibility and credibility. Amy's passion for her work and her clients is evident in every campaign and strategy she develops. Tune in and hear our conversation with Amy about making the decision to jump into entrepreneurship as a mom, the importance of a good PR strategy, and the power of embracing yourself as an expert in your field.
