I’m back from California!
This time, it was NOT for business, but pleasure.
My husband and I spent a few days there for my birthday and tried to “Come on Down”, but we weren't called.
However, we did get seats in the front row, so you will see us on The Price is Right on Monday, February 26th!
While we were in California, the series premiere episode of Health Uncensored! with Dr. Drew aired on Fox Business.
If you missed it, you can catch the replay on Hulu or watch the segments on the website.​
The next episode is Sunday, February 4th at 5:30 ET / 2:30 PT on Fox Business.

​Sometimes clients will ask, "Why did our competitor get featured in top-tier media, but not us?"
Based on my experience as a journalist and owner of a publicity and content creation agency, here are some reasons why.
1. Your business may be relatively new, with an underdeveloped website, limited social media content, or restricted product availability.
Consider starting with trade and local media to build your reputation.

Don't give up too soon; smaller wins pave the way for bigger ones.
3. Enhance your online presence, engage with reporters, and share industry expertise on your website, blog, social media, or other platforms to make it easier for media to find you.
There are three more reasons.

Bookstagram might look like chaos from the outside. And to be fair, sometimes it is. People are yelling about fictional men, spiraling over plot twists, and forming full-blown friendships in the comments. But there’s a reason it works so well, and honestly, brands should be paying attention. As someone who spends a lot of time on Bookstagram, I can tell you this: People don’t show up just for book recommendations. They show up because the content makes them feel something, gives them...
When people talk about “optimizing for AI,” they make it sound way more mysterious than it needs to be. A lot of what helps AI understand your business is the same stuff that helps actual humans understand your business. Clear messaging. Updated information. Specific language. Easy-to-find answers. I talked about this on a Storyblok webinar yesterday with three other marketers, and one thing kept coming up: AI cannot confidently describe, recommend, or surface your brand if your website is...
Airbnb is doing that thing where a brand makes one move, and the entire internet goes, “Wait… that’s actually genius.” Because they listed the Heated Rivalry cottage. And suddenly the book world, the TV world, the hockey world, and the “I don’t even read romance, but I’m invested” world are all standing in the same circle chanting: GET ME. TO. THE. COTTAGE. Airbnb turned a cultural moment into a real-life experience. When you do that, you don’t need a huge campaign because the fans become the...
