Camille Davis Teaser 00:00

I'm finding out things about myself yearly as I go along, but that's good, right? Because we all want to grow. You never wanna be in a place where you're not learning, right?

So most recently I've been struggling personally with being emotional, but that's a good thing as well. I think that the reason why I'm in public relations is because I'm a people person.

Intro 00:23

Are you ready to hear business stories and learn effective ways to build relationships, generate sales, and level up your business from awesome CEOs, entrepreneurs, and founders without listening to a long, long, long interview?

If so, you've come to the right place. Gresh values your time and is ready to share with you the valuable info you're in search of.

This is the I AM CEO podcast.

Gresham Harkless 00:50

Hello, hello, hello. This is Gresh from the I AM CEO podcast and I appreciate you listening to this episode. If you've been listening this year, you know that we hit over 1600 episodes at the beginning of this year. We're doing something a little bit different where we are repurposing our favorite episodes around certain categories, topics, or as I like to call them, the business pillars that we think are gonna be extremely impactful for CEOs, entrepreneurs, business owners, and what I like to call CB Nation architects who are looking to level up their organizations.

This month we are focused on the visibility game, a k a, marketing, advertising, PR, and sales. I often say the name of the game is being found, and these tools will help you to do that. We have heard the philosophical question, if the tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound? If there's a really, really great product or service and no one knows about it, how great is it really? What impact does it ultimately make? This is where we will go into this month looking at visibility, branding, marketing, public relations, sales being the lifeblood of businesses. Building many companies and so much more.

This is probably one of the most exciting and probably the most excruciating topics, but we hope this helps to demystify or maybe even vanquish the fear and help and arm you with the tools to be able to increase your visibility. So buckle up and sit back and enjoy this special episode of the I AM CEO podcast.

Hello, hello, hello. This is Gresh from the I AM CEO podcast and I have a very special guest on the show today. I have Camille Davis of Montage Public Relations. Camille, it's great to have you on the show.

Camille Davis 02:19

It's an honor to be here. Thank you.

Gresham Harkless 02:22

Definitely the honor is all ours. What I wanted to do is just read a little bit more about Camille so you can hear about some of those awesome things that she's doing.

Unapologetically pushing the culture forward, Camille pivoted to focus on Black-owned and Women-owned businesses in 2019. Focusing on impactful brands, Camille is building her legacy by giving voice to those who contribute to the greater good and make their communities thrive. She's the host of Meet the Media, the Women for the Culture podcast, and a Media Guru. She's making space for and propelling black women in representations.

And I love everything Camille is doing because at the end of the day, having a voice is one of the most important things we have. So when people have the ability to do that through her platforms, I appreciate her for making a way sometimes when we feel that there's no way. So, Camille, are you ready to speak to the I AM CEO community?

Camille Davis 03:06

Yes, I am. Let's do this.
