435: Getting Featured In Major Publications with Visibility on Purpose

In this episode of The Business Growth Podcast, we’re demystifying PR for product-based brands with PR strategist Bridget Sicsko of Visibility On Purpose.

If PR has ever felt out of reach, too expensive, or only for “big brands,” this episode is going to completely reframe how you think about media visibility. We’re breaking down what PR actually is, how earned media works behind the scenes, and why you do not need a $5,000/month agency to start getting featured.

Bridget shares how founders can secure major media placements, build real relationships with writers, and use PR as a long-term credibility and sales strategy… not just an authority badge for your website.

In this episode:

•What PR actually is

• The biggest myths founders believe about media and agencies

• How earned media really works behind the scenes

• Where PR fits in the buying cycle
