The Verdict:
Ilyana Stareva is a global partner program manager at HubSpot and runs a highly regarded blog discussing inbound PR. This book is aimed at people who run PR agencies but is still useful for clients who are looking to get something extra from external PR advisors. Be aware though that it is repetitive, lacks detail on how to use the techniques described and is silent on GDPR considerations (a notable omission in these data sensitive times).
Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
