Hi - mine name is Jim James and I'm your host. In 2019 I started this podcast to help entrepreneurs learn from one another. When I started the Entrepreneurs Organization chapter in Beijing, I realized that the best insights came from people who had already done the work.
If you're running a business; this show is my gift to you. It's hard enough as it is, and I hope that this podcast solves just one problem to help you on your way.

The UnNoticed Entrepreneur
The key to publicity and social media: Find your three main messages; with Claire Mason
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Jim interviews Claire Mason, a seasoned public relations expert from Dublin, Ireland. Claire shares her insights on how entrepreneurs can get noticed by the media and secure coverage in top publications. She debunks the myth that you need special contacts to succeed in media, emphasising that a compelling story is the key to unlocking media opportunities.
Claire advises entrepreneurs to identify their three main messages and find multiple ways to communicate them through social media. She also highlights the importance of identifying hooks that align with current media trends and leveraging professional headshots and images to open doors. Claire encourages entrepreneurs to start small and build their publicity presence gradually, targeting trade publications before pitching to larger outlets. She stresses the need for quality and quantity in pitching and shares tips for overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Claire recommends establishing a personal brand alongside a company brand to future-proof oneself and boost business brands. She suggests leveraging LinkedIn to increase visibility and highlights the untapped potential of the platform.
