Lightspeed PR/M Was Built With You in Mind

Ethan Rasiel interviewed by O’Dwyer’s about impactful PR Behaviors

There are five behaviors that PR can impact, Lightspeed PR & Marketing CEO Ethan Rasiel tells Doug Simon.

Rasiel puts those five behaviors under the acronym PIPAT (Purchase, Invest, Partner, Apply and Tell others).
