Merlot’s SpeedBriefings™ With…

We are turning the tables on the media! It’s time for PR pros to interview editors and reporters instead of just pitching them. Our aim is to understand how changes in technology and human behavior are affecting their business, and to determine what we (as public relations professionals) can do to better serve this evolving print/digital industry.

In this episode, we interview Carisha Swanson editor at House Beautiful. Carisha shares with us her number one tip for PR Pro’s and her major pet peeves!
