Do you know the difference between marketing and PR (aka Public Relations)? Small businesses often don't think PR is something that can be used to grow their brands but it can actually be a valuable tool to have in your marketing toolbox. In this episode, I'm talking to Lauren Cockerell, President of Kwedar & Co., a PR & marketing firm. She's here to demystify the world of PR and marketing for us.

We dive into the realm where PR and marketing meet. Ever wondered how to cozy up to Gen Z? Lauren shares her wisdom on that and more.
