Quotes
- “You're always somehow in the weeds or you're learning how to do something new to you. I never feel like, oh, every day is so easy. It's all turnkey no, every day is a dynamic new day where the industry changes, we have to adapt to different technologies and social platforms, changes in media outlets, and there's no one-size-fits-all press plan or social plan for any client. So, yeah, it's like every day I'm learning something new.” -Talia Samuels [25:04]
- “We're just an amplifier. We're the storytellers. My goal is to tell my client's story and help the media at the same time. Their goal is to tell these stories. So my job is to make their job easier, and they have a busy, crazy job. So if I can help them and also help my client, perfect. I'm making two people happy.” -Talia Samuels [33:09]
