In this episode, I interview UK publicist Karin Ridgers, owner of Mad Promotions who also runs online TV station VeggieVision TV.
This is another audio interview I did for my book Vegan Ventures: Start and Grow an Ethical Business.
I love Karin because she’s so passionate about PR – in fact I hired her to do some PR for me when I launched Vegan Ventures at London VegFestUK in October last year and she got me on LBC Radio, the UK largest talkback radio network.
What I’ve found about Karin is she’s one of those rare publicists who really gets what journalists need and gives it to them. As a journalist myself, I really appreciate PRs like Karin who make my job easier.
In this interview Karin talks about:
• How PR is still the best and fastest way to get recognition for your vegan business
• Why putting ‘vegan’ front and center when approaching journalists isn’t always the best move
• What to look for in a PR professional
• What PR professionals expect of you
• And much more
