I often get asked for ways to help raise profile and win more business, so what better than to explain than using real case studies of where I put my own money, why, and what it achieved for me. 🏆

Based on this I caught up with Natalie Devonshire from PR company Harvey & Hugo to discuss a recent project we did together for Growth Strategy Roadmap™ 💬

Within the chat we discuss the entire process start to finish and use it as a way to help educate on options open to business owners about the tools they can use, including PR.
