By Brandi Sims, PhD,MBA – Founder & CEO, Brandinc PR
In today’s fast-moving digital landscape, every brand — from small businesses to personal thought leaders — is competing for the same thing: attention.
But earning the right kind of attention takes more than luck or a viral moment. It requires strategy, storytelling, and authenticity.
That’s exactly what I’ll be diving into during “What It Takes to Be a Media Darling in 2026,” happening on
Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at 12 PM (CT). Hosted by Kai Cole and presented by
Rockstar PR Skool, this free live event explores how entrepreneurs, experts, and creatives can transform from being “another voice online”
to becoming trusted, media-ready brands.
