Business of Architecture UK Podcast
The Importance of Hiring a Publicist
It's difficult to do it yourself. It is very difficult because it's too close. You're not potentially able to see things in the same way as someone else would, that you would hire. And maybe there's elements that you're missing of your story. I had a editor tell me once, you were the most persistent publicist I know. She actually introduced me to someone who was looking for a publicist.
Today I will be speaking with Roxie Sarhangi of Roxie PR, a full-service public relations, social media, consultancy, and branding firm, founded in 2013. Roxie PR works with influential brands, businesses, and individuals in the fields of art and culture, architecture, interior design, hospitality, consumer products, luxury lifestyle, and wellness.
Based in West Hollywood, Roxie PR attracts best-in-class clients and tastemakers who are working across the U.S. and internationally. She thrives in shaping creative narratives to targeted audiences. Roxie's dynamic, multi-tiered strategy involves a multitude of platforms for her clients, including securing top-tier media placements, business development through the right introductions, and panel opportunities, and positioning brands for long-term success and growth. A former professional actor, Roxie brings a unique perspective, honing the narrative and storytelling of each brand for a personal, layered, and detailed approach.
