14: What PR Can Do For Your Business with Lindsay Haynie and Pivot PR

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s so funny how you can have opportunities unexpectedly arise at any moment. I went to a conference last summer and one of the vendors was Dunkin Donuts. There was a nice smiley blonde who I chatted with while getting my coffee during the break and she gave me her card. Her name was Lindsay also so of course I took a second glance. She was super sweet and fun to talk to. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A few months later, my spa was one of the participants in a large outdoor festival. She ended up being there with Dunkin again and I invited her over to get a braid at our braid bar and chatted some more. A few months later after that, Lindsay invited me to a new Dunkin breakfast release and we were able to catch up and I got to learn more about the PR side of things.  My point is that you never know who you are talking to and where that may lead in your professional life. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And now Lindsay is on the podcast! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lindsay is an intuitive problem-solver, having honed her public relations, social media and event planning skills in areas ranging from association management to corporate strategy to social events.
