Shining Your Light: Claim Your Expertise with Amanda Samoyloff

The She Leads Podcast: Real Conversations with Women Entrepreneurs

Women are real rock stars.

A woman of many talents and passions, Amanda Samoyloff, is an actor, writer, producer, poet, and the founder of SamoyloffPR, specializing in branding and PR. Amanda started her creative journey from acting as a kid, then continued in her college days through speech and debate, but working with musicians in Hollywood, gave her a specific view towards PR.

Combining her experience with rock stars, Amanda wanted to inject that Rock ‘n’ Roll vibe into clients’ branding while establishing women in the media landscape. As women are not being represented enough in the media, especially in male-dominated fields, women need to ensure diverse voices are heard out there. Women have the common issue of imposter syndrome, but we need to believe in ourselves and as soon as we pull from the backend into the spotlight it will significantly boost our businesses.

Today, Amanda shares strategies about personal branding, the best time to hire a PR, how to leverage your story, and how to prepare before a product launch. Women need to be recognized, but to achieve that, it's important to ditch perfectionism, find time for ourselves, and believe in our strength. Establishing a healthy reward system and finding time for creative activities is crucial for preventing burnout.

We need to shine our light, so let's just keep beating that drum and let’s get out there to rock!
