“You are your own industry expert”, Ada says when speaking of her Ada Lip Beauty Brand that was just featured on the FRONT PAGE of Cosmopolitan (34 million views) AND on their instagram (3.4 million followers).
Pitching to journalists or magazines can be a very scary and personal thing because nobody knows your product or business like you do. And, rejection can be hurtful. Ada still doesn't have an email list and she has 100 followers on Instagram. Now she has gained insight and experience--that lead her to press, visibility, and unparalleled industry credibility. Most importantly, it gave her the confidence to know that she is doing much more than selling lipsticks.
