Hey there,
Welcome to another edition of The Digital Entrepreneur Newsletter.
I hope that this email finds you well.
Let’s begin with this week’s podcast recommendation, which discusses the role of traditional PR in online marketing.
The role of PR has evolved
In the past, traditional PR held a unique role — usually independent of the marketing department. But today, it’s now involved in a symbiotic relationship within the online marketing framework.
But while PR has evolved, the core of the techniques used in PR matter more than ever — creating great stories and engaging with the publishers that matter.
And no one is more qualified to explain this evolution than Lee Odden from TopRank Marketing.
In this 32 minute episode, Sean Jackson and Katy Katz interview Lee Odden to discuss the role of PR in online marketing.
