In today's episode of PR Yourself with Leah Frazier, we're diving deep into a truth that too many overlook: not everyone is qualified to represent you. From agents and managers to publicists and brand reps, the people you choose to speak and act on your behalf are a direct reflection of your brand. Leah breaks down why your inner circle must align with your vision, values, and vibe — because every conversation they have (or don't), every move they make (or don't), and every deal they negotiate builds (or breaks) your public image. Tune in to learn how to build a powerhouse team that elevates your brand and keeps your PR game strong behind the scenes!
