About this episode

Blair Huddy discusses the resurgence of press releases and the workings of LinkedIn in B2B marketing.

Blair Huddy has been in B2B marketing and PR for over 15 years, and in this episode we chat about why press releases are having a quiet comeback thanks to AI, how LinkedIn actually works (it's closer to TikTok than you'd think), and what it takes to build an audience that genuinely wants to hear from you. Blair also shares how she approaches contrarian takes without burning professional bridges, what LinkedIn jail actually looks like, and why writing the way you talk is still the most underused strategy on the platform.
