We truly believe that our Beverage Chronicles show has the best array of regular talent in our industry. Here is additional proof. Our Michelle Lam recently offered a presentation to the Women In Business Association, garnering an attendance that broke their all-time record. In her own words, “I offer a DIY Public Relations workshop aimed at equipping businesses and individuals with actionable strategies to boost their visibility. My goal is to speak at respected conferences and high-impact venues that drive brand exposure and open doors to new opportunities—whether through keynote talks, team trainings, or student-focused workshops.”
Needless to say, we are extremely proud of Michelle, but not too surprised. She is immensely talented and giving… a true star in her industry. Michelle is the founder of BKLYNITE Public Relations (www.bklynitemedia.com) and can be reached at michelle@bklynitemedia.com
