This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Brittney Houser’s #internship #mentorship at Pitch Publicity® and the career she has built since graduating from the University of Florida with both a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and a master’s degree in Business Management. Now a senior account executive at Interdependence PR, Brittney leads B2B technology accounts across enterprise technology, IT services, fintech, cryptocurrency, marketing and advertising technology, taking an active role in strategy, client communications and media relations. Throughout her career, she has represented a diverse portfolio of national brands and secured coverage across top-tier national, business, consumer and trade media. Her progression from PR intern to trusted counselor and media relations professional demonstrates how early career mentorship, hands-on experience and strong communication and organization skills can accelerate career growth.

Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Brittney Houser on this episode of “Pitch Live”:

• Stay organized when brainstorming: Structure keeps ideas moving forward.
• Get comfortable being uncomfortable: Pushing through discomfort is how you build confidence.
• Do your homework before you pitch: Follow someone’s work and tailor your approach specifically to them.
• Ask what they are working on: Curiosity helps you uncover opportunities while staying ahead of industry trends.
• Follow up with purpose: Do not just repeat the pitch — add a new detail, angle or piece of value each time.
• Take notes to retain more: Writing things down helps you stay focused, capture details and better understand what you heard.
• Do not underestimate the small work: Everyday tasks build confidence, strong habits and relationships that compound over time.
• Talk it out with a real person: Verbalizing a pitch or problem can reveal what is missing and make your thinking stronger.
