Public relations isn’t just about getting published—it’s about what you do after the feature goes live. We thrilled to welcome our special guest who we have been working with for over a year. Alex Abramian, founder of The PR Collaborative, talks with us about the evolving landscape of PR for interior designers. With years of experience as a writer and editor for major national publications, Alex shares real-world insights into what editors are looking for right now and how designers at any stage of business can get press without big budgets or agency retainers.

A non-negotiable for us--high-quality photography. The reason being is you can create stories in these photos and it doesn't have to be on a million dollar budget. Editors are currently obsessed with small, personality-filled spaces (think under 1500 sq ft, bold color, cozy vibes, and yes—pets!), and how sharing your client’s story can make a bigger impact than simply showcasing pretty rooms.

If you think you need a massive "luxury project" or a full marketing strategy to get noticed, think again. This episode is packed with practical advice on how to get published and how to leverage that publicity for SEO, credibility, and client trust.

When you are being responsive, opinionated, and authentic, it makes you more appealing to editors—and how early to mid-career designers have more opportunity than ever before to break into editorial PR. Stop waiting for someone to come to you--it's time to show up and start getting noticed.
