October 2010
Who are the faces behind a company? How did the company get started? These are common question you may have about startups you see and hear about. If you don't get a chance to personally meet the founders, you're unlikely to ever know their story. That's what Founder Fridays is all about.
My advertising class last year had a public relations professional come speak about her industry. Her number one mantra? Write hand written notes after you contact someone.
