“PR can be a daunting undertaking for any entrepreneur, especially those who are in the hectic phase of exponential growth, and tends to fall to the end of the to-do list.

In You Need PR, Jenna shares her formidable expertise and makes this crucial practice approachable and executable for every startup.”

—Nicole Portwood, C-level brand builder

“In the early days of building a startup, to spend or not to spend on PR feels like a life-or-death decision.

Add this book to the short list of must-haves for startup founders!”
