Episode notes

"You should take it personally if you don't get quoted in an article when you spent time engaging on a certain topic. You should want to improve and figure out why it is that you didn't get in the piece. And any good PR team is gonna help you get to the bottom of that and get better the next time out." - Jason Lahita

Discover the ten commandments of working with reporters, unravel the ever-changing media landscape, and gain invaluable insights and strategies for navigating the PR game with finesse.

Tune in and unlock the secrets to leveraging media opportunities for ultimate success.

Jason’s varied skillset includes — but is not limited to — the ability to sell fine wine, fixing US Navy warplanes as an avionics technician, sports and nautical themed metaphors, and a refined understanding of high-quality PR practices acquired over years of experience playing the game.

After working in PR at United Capital Financial Advisors and receiving his MBA from UC Irvine, he started his first PR shop, FiComm Partners, in 2012. For six years, Jason built the company alongside an awesome business partner who had joined in 2014. At the close of those years, the two found that they wanted different things for their small orange business, so Jason departed for his next chapter – starting an actual orange business. Just kidding, although if it had been an orange business, things might have gone differently. Oranges are oranges, after all.

Leaving FiComm in good hands, Jason returned to his roots of working within RIAs in 2018 when he joined Integrated Partners, a fantastic financial firm that reminded him a lot of United Capital. For two years, he ran PR inside this great organization, until one day, it was time for Jason to set forth and start anew in 2020.

And so, StreetCred PR was born, with Integrated Partners as the company’s first client. Soon new clients joined, and then more clients, and a growing team of fantastic people driving the work.
