For every article, interview or story, there is a publicist working behind the scenes to shape, control, and promote the public perception of a celebrity, film, or brand.

They are the vital link between talent and the media, ensuring a consistent and positive narrative in the highly competitive entertainment world.

Today we are joined by veteran Hollywood publicists Lana Walker and Amy Malone who have worked behind the scenes for some of the biggest names in the industry.
