I met Brittany when I attended her ‘Social Media Marketing’ workshop and learned so much I HAD to bring her on here to share her story. She is the 26 y/o founder of Arreis PR + Marketing and Laptops & Smalltalk, a growing community and resource for emerging fashion designers, and has been featured in Portland Business Journal and Portland monthly. All without a traditional 4 year degree. Listen to her journey from a dorm room jewelry business to running two companies, her top social media tips for growing an audience AND (of course) some mistakes along the way.
