Client Success Story: How Publicist Katie Riess Helps Entrepreneurs Grow Their Business While Scaling Her Own

Today I’m talking with Katie Riess — who is not only my own publicist but also one of my clients — about what it really takes to get results in your business and what actually happens when you get there. Join us as she shares her incredible story of pivoting from a successful journalism career to start her own equally successful business as a publicist.

 

Katie uses her 15+ years of experience as a TV News Producer to get authors, entrepreneurs, nonprofits and corporate businesses incredible media exposure that boosts their books, brands, events, credibility or message. Clients come to Katie with little understanding of how the media works and after a short time working with her get quoted, thought-leader articles published and interviews booked. Having worked for CBS News, WRC-TV and Bloomberg TV, she knows the ins and outs to set you apart and get you noticed by the media.

 

Katie’s clients have appeared on CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, Fox Business, Bloomberg TV, Yahoo Finance, NPR, SiriusXM, dozens of local markets around the country, as well as in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc., Fast Company, Business Insider and hundreds more.

 

Katie lives near beautiful Annapolis, Maryland with her husband and two boys who keep her busy.
