In this episode… Public relations can make or break how a brand is perceived, but many B2B companies still hesitate to invest in it. They often wonder if PR can truly move the needle in industries that seem complex, technical, or even boring. So how can bold storytelling and media strategy help these brands stand out and grow? According to Matt Kovacs, a nationally recognized PR strategist, the key is building a foundation of credibility before chasing headlines. He highlights that many B2B leaders are shy about telling their story, so PR must start with education, media training, and developing strong narratives tailored for trade and industry outlets. This approach transforms scientific or technical content into compelling stories that resonate with buyers, investors, and the media alike. Matt also emphasizes the role of AI and analytics in making PR strategies smarter, more efficient, and measurable.
