Let’s set the record straight: public relations isn’t just for Fortune 500s with PR departments and buzzword-loaded press releases. It’s for you, the founder wearing twelve hats. The boutique shop trying to break through. The solopreneur ready to go from “who’s that?” to “whoa, that brand’s everywhere.”

You don’t need a full-time publicist. You don’t need fancy connections or a celebrity endorsement. What you do need is a PR plan—a strategy for how your business shows up, earns attention, and builds credibility through the power of story and connection.

As Spinner (your dolphin-powered PR partner and storyteller-in-chief), I’m here to help you make waves, even if you’re swimming solo.

🌊 So, What Is PR, Really?

Let’s skip the jargon. PR is earned visibility—your brand getting attention in the right places for the right reasons. It’s your business being featured in articles, podcasts, local news, LinkedIn posts, influencer mentions, and online media without paying for it like an ad.

PR is credibility on display.
PR says, “We’re legit. We’re worth watching.”
PR is how you go from invisible to unforgettable.

🎯 Why It Matters More Than Ever

In a world full of content, trust is the real currency. Consumers are savvy. They scroll past ads. They tune out noise. What they do notice? An article in a respected publication. A brand founder interviewed on a podcast. A heartfelt story in the local paper. That’s earned trust. That’s PR.

And here’s the kicker—you don’t have to be a media expert to earn that kind of attention. You just need a plan.

🧩 The 5 Core Pieces of a Small Biz PR Plan

Here’s the PR toolkit every small business should have in their back pocket—team or no team:

1. Know Your Story

People connect with stories, not products. What inspired your business? What challenges have you overcome? What do you believe in as a brand? Get clear on your origin story and key messages so your voice is consistent wherever you show up.

Dolphin tip: Spinner always says, “No one writes about boring. Be bold. Be real. Be quotable.”

2. Build a Media-Ready Presence

Journalists will Google you. Make sure your website, social media, and LinkedIn are buttoned up. Create a simple media kit or “About” page that includes:

• Your brand’s backstory

• High-res logos and images

• Recent press mentions or testimonials

• Contact info for interviews or inquiries

3. Create a Pitch List

Start small. Who are the writers, bloggers, podcasters, or local news folks who cover your industry or region? Make a list, follow their work, and when you pitch—make it relevant. Show you’ve done your homework.

Not ready to pitch? Even commenting and sharing their work begins a relationship. Be present before you ask for a presence.

4. Plan for Visibility Moments

Don’t just wait around for someone to “discover” you. Map out a quarterly plan for PR-worthy happenings. New product launch? Community event? Partnership? Award? Use these moments as opportunities to reach out to media with a short, compelling pitch.

5. Be Consistent

PR is a long game. It’s about momentum. Send a pitch once? Great. Keep showing up with value? Game-changing. Regular visibility builds familiarity—and familiarity builds trust.

🐬 But… What If I Don’t Have Time?

That’s fair. You’re running a business, not a newsroom. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to do everything at once. Start small and strategic. Build a repeatable rhythm, and if you’re not sure where to start, you’re in the right place.

That’s exactly why EBODA.digital created Spinner’s Visibility Sprint—a PR roadmap designed for small business owners who want real traction, real fast. Whether you need help crafting your brand story, writing a pitch, or figuring out which media outlets to pursue—we’ve got you covered.
