Secrets to Brand Longevity W/PR Powerhouse Jenelle Hamilton


Listen Later

Jenelle Hamilton is a Public Relations Powerhouse, who breathes life into the phrase: "You never know who's watching you. Keep showing up for yourself." 

In this episode we talk about how she unexpectedly landed a fashion icon as a client 10 years ago--and he's still her client today. Plus her first job in PR was working with the Royal Family and she shares the #1 lesson she learned and still applies to her business today.  

 

We also talk about brand longevity. While it's often said that more than half of new businesses fail within the first two years, over the last 10 years Jenelle has built a sustainable business in Public Relations, one of the least diverse industries. 

 

Jenelle has created and increased brand recognition for icons in the fashion industry such as Bob Mackie, as well as influencers in music, such as singer-songwriter and actress Ryan Destiny, and premium beauty and food brands such as Mented Cosmetics and Partake Foods--which received investments from Jay-Z's Marcy Venture Partners, H.E.R. and Rihanna. 

She's also been featured in Forbes, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Black Enterprise, MadameNoire, Business Insider, Glamour, Essence, Los Angeles Times, and Fast Company.

In this episode we also discuss:

  • The #1 Lesson she learned from working with the Royal Family.
  • How she learned to ask for more money with confidence.
  • The power of meditation, exercise, and spirituality for success. 
  • Mistakes aspiring and new entrepreneurs make when trying to build a business.
