So, you landed a feature… or maybe you’re about to! Either way, the real goal isn’t just getting press once, it’s getting featured again and again.

In this episode, Lydia breaks down what actually makes that happen. Because while most founders focus on landing their first feature, the brands you see everywhere are the ones who know how to stay top of mind with writers.

Plus, simple, actionable ways to build genuine relationships with writers, even if you’re just getting started.

In This Episode:

•  The difference between getting featured once vs. consistently 
•  Why strong angles matter (but aren’t the only way to land press) 
•  What makes writers come back to your brand 
•  Easy ways to build real relationships with media 
•  How to become a go-to brand they feature instead of chasing coverage

If you’re a startup or CPG brand, you’ve probably felt the pressure to start gifting to influencers and paying for content the second you launch. In this episode, Lydia, co-founder of Visibility on Purpose, shares her honest take after 10+ years in PR—why influencer seeding can quickly become a money drain for early-stage brands, and what actually drives long-term visibility. She breaks down the short shelf life of social content, why it doesn’t support SEO or AI discovery, and how press features can build credibility, show up in search, and compound over time. 

If you’re deciding where to invest your budget, this is a must-listen before you spend another dollar on influencers.

Every brand has a story. But most are pitching the wrong one — or not pitching it at all.

In today's masterclass, we're breaking down brand differentiation: what it is, how to find yours, and — most importantly — how to turn it into a PR angle that actually gets you featured.

We'll walk through real brand examples like Siete Foods, Native, ILIA, Halo Top, Olipop, Chomps, and more to show you exactly what makes a product brand story stick in the media.

Here's what we cover:

• What brand differentiation actually means (and why it matters for PR)
• The 16 types of brand differentiators — and how to identify yours
• Real-world CPG and product brand examples across every category
• How to turn your differentiator into a media pitch angle
• What journalists actually want from your brand story
• The questions that will help you find YOUR story fast

Whether you're just starting to think about PR or you've been pitching and not getting responses — this will change how you talk about your brand.

Want help finding your story and building your full PR roadmap? That's exactly what our Personalized PR Plan is for.

In this episode, Lydia, co-founder of Visibility on Purpose, breaks down why some brands grow quickly while others stay stuck… and it has very little to do with how “good” the product is.

Instead, it comes down to authority.

Lydia shares why building a personal brand is one of the most important things you can do as a founder, how trust actually drives sales, and why founder-led brands consistently outperform those that stay behind the scenes.

She also dives into how PR and media features can accelerate your authority, helping you get seen, trusted, and positioned as an expert in your space.

If you’ve been focusing only on your product and wondering why growth feels slow, this episode will shift how you think about visibility entirely.
