Communications 101: Gareth Pettigrew on why PR has never mattered more for MSPs

Gareth Pettigrew, who spent years in communications at Cisco and Okta, including leading Cisco’s partner communications efforts, breaks down why PR matters more now than it ever has, why it doesn’t have to be the heavy lift you think it is, and offers a practical week-by-week roadmap for MSPs ready to start – no budget or comms team required.
