Why Social Media Isn’t Optional for PR Success (And the 4 Types of Content You NEED)

In this episode of KO Your Brand, personal branding and PR expert Katrina Owens shares one of her most foundational beliefs: you can’t succeed with public relations without a strong social media presence first.

She breaks down the following:
  • Why PR and social media are not interchangeable—and how they work together to build authority
  • The 4 essential types of content every press-ready personal brand needs
  • A past client story that changed how she delivers PR support forever
  • Real examples from her Instagram feed showing what powerful, strategic content actually looks like
  • The platforms she shows up on (and how often) to stay visible without burning out
  • Why brand partnerships and media features only happen after consistent content is in place
  • The #1 way to know if your social media strategy is working from a PR perspective
She also shares her personal platform stack (Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok) and encourages listeners to start with one, stay consistent, and treat social media as a core business asset, not just a place to go viral.

This episode is equal parts intimate, motivational, and actionable, and it’s a must-listen for entrepreneurs building a brand that’s ready to be seen.
