    + Real-world examples of what works (and what’s already obsolete)

    + A framework to audit your site and content for LLM readiness

    + One key metric to track your AI search presence in 2026

    “Why didn’t that reporter write about us?”

    If you’ve ever wondered why you didn't get media coverage, this episode of Strategy Talks is for you. Julie Kelley knows exactly what the media wants, because she used to be on the inside.

    Her communications strategy and growth marketing media work includes companies like Ballou Family Apothecary, Weidmann Electrical Technology, Roof Maxx, Vermont Nut Free Chocolates, and SunCommon, reflects Julie’s commitment to business as a force for good.
