In a Media Strategy Session episode on the podcast this week, we hear from FEST founder Eve Rowsell, who turns leather jackets into luxe, one-of-a-kind handmade bags from her Nova Scotia studio. But after years of running the business largely as a side project while juggling a time-consuming small business in her hometown and a number of complicated events in her personal life, Eve is ready to let more people know about her line, Rewanted Bags. What's more, she's willing to put in the work to get the word out about her business. Still, with all the hats to wear as a solopreneur, designer, mom and member of her tight-knit community, it's difficult to choose where to focus, especially when her story is far from cut and dry. That's where this conversation comes in. In the last interview episode of the year, Eve and I dive into her story, how she got to where she is today and take a look at the key steps she can take action on right now to get her DIY PR and media outreach strategy on the right track for 2019.
