Latitude Episode 59: Your Pitch Person Probably Shouldn’t Be Your Spokesperson

Podcast

External communications and messaging can be one of the elements of startups that can easily get overlooked in the daily grind of running a business, raising money and improving products.

He sat down with host Nate Benson this week to provide some free advice for startups looking to craft and maintain company messaging and PR strategy.
