Proving PR ROI to startups and investors

Have you ever wondered what happens when you stop trying to serve everyone and double down on one niche you know inside out? That's exactly what Julie Lawless did. From corporate comms for brands like Nissan and Mars Petcare to running her own firm in animal health and AgTech, Julie has built a business that thrives because it's focused. In this episode, we unpack how she made that shift, moving from hourly billing to retainers, building a standout reputation in a small industry, and leading a team that runs smoothly without her in every single detail. 

If you've been thinking about specializing or tightening your focus, you'll take a ton of practical insight from this one. Enjoy.
