If you are wanting to create a side gig, or you’ve got a book in the works, today we’re going to explore the world of PR and media with Alessandra Pollina. We’re not only going to hear from a woman who created her own business, but if you’re like me, you might be super interested to finally understand what exactly PR is all about and whether we even need it to grow our businesses or sell our books.

Alessandra Pollina is the founder of Quotable Media Co., a PR and media agency which works to elevate women-led brands. She produces Quotable: A female entrepreneur podcast and Quotable Magazine.

Alessandra hosts PR workshops and educational programs for small business owners and runs the Female Founders of Boston Networking Group.

Alessandra sits on the board of the MA chapter of the National Organization for Women (MA NOW) and was awarded the prestigious 40 under 40 from Boston Business Journal in 2022.

She’s based in Boston, where she lives with her husband and 8 year old son.
