Media Relations is a critical component of your marketing strategy as a small business, but it often gets overlooked. In this supercut, David Nilsen and Melinda Guerra share what they've learned from opposite sides of the media relationship as a journalist (David) and publicist (Melinda) to help craft chocolate makers take easy steps to working with media.
In this episode, host David Nilsen talks with Nathan Keffer of Bandido Brewing in Quito, Ecuador. Bandido has developed a new beer using multiple different forms of cacao, not just the nibs or husks.
