The Rise to Stardom & Fame - wins & pitfalls & the importance of PR
In October 2010 I entered a competition that would not only change my life dramatically, but also see me, Jax Hamilton, within a 2 year period, become one of the most recognisable personalities in New Zealand.
I will share how unprepared I was for such a media focus. How I learned, very quickly that out there in the world of TV, radio and magazines, nothing is ‘off the record’. How every journalist is looking for ‘the’ story and will often open a ‘door’ with one foot and have a whole army of feet waiting in the wings to off balance you. I will share how I used my experience, who I turned to, how I coped and most
importantly, what I did with it.
