Show notes
So you’ve put together a great bar, a great team, an awesome drinks menu… how do you let people know about it? Rachel Harrison of Rachel Harrison PR (fittingly enough) joins Sother and Greg to talk about the drinks PR game, what it’s like to do her job in the age of cocktail awards and online gossip, how to negotiate with prickly clients, and why public relations and bartending really aren’t all that different. Plus, a travel publicity pro with a fear of flying? How it works, and the one time it actually worked out okay.
Then, on Bottled in Bond, what do you do when the thing your business is most famous for is Led Zeppelin and Guns ‘n Roses trashing it? Become a regular to hear how Rachel spun the PR strategy for one of LA’s most infamous hotels.
