Question: Do you believe that the style of leadership matters in leading a company? How did you Manage your agency all these years? Liana: Every leader has a different style of management. As long as everyone is passionate about what they do, the rest automatically follows. I believe that leading by example creates a positive environment and inspires the workforce to do the same. I learn from my employees on a daily basis and I listen to them and deliver to create a high-vibrational work environment. Since Covid, my whole agency went remote and that created more creativity to work on campaigns. When everybody works smart for the brand, consumers receive excellent service, bringing positive reviews and feedback to the company. Taking our clients from zero to heroes and making them into irresistible brands, that is our mission. Now that is a cycle that every leader would want to have.
Question: Would it be a good time to start a business in our current state?
Liana Zavo: The new normal proved to be a complicated situation for everyone. Businesses had to adjust and pivot according to the new rules and health protocols to keep everyone safe. I suggest studying the latest trends and keeping an eye on where the demand is. Always keep moving like a shark! Social media is an ideal place to start since brands have switched completely digital to boost their presence online. Despite the pressures of the pandemic, there are still plenty of options worth trying. Don’t limit your imagination and ideas.
Question: To wrap up this interview, what is the biggest takeaway that aspiring influencers can learn from the media mogul on Clubhouse?
Liana Zavo: Own your influence and never let failures define who you are. We all start from small, humble beginnings and push forward to evolve into what we desire to be. I started with a few followers on Clubhouse, but that didn’t discourage me. I kept going and visited different rooms, joined in conversations, and connected with many people. I shared my knowledge, and in return, gained wisdom from peers. I showed up consistently until people recognized me for my expertise in my niche. My influence grew and led me to where I am today because I decided to pour into others with my expertise and knowledge in PR, media and how to run a successful business.
Taking risks is an inevitable part of building and nurturing a career. No matter what road awaits, nobody can move forward if shadowed by reluctance and fear.

The founder and CEO of ZavoMedia, a PR and Digital Marketing Agency based in NYC, she firmly stands by her mantra, “Success is the ability to Conquer failures time and again.” By aligning her personality with her purpose, Liana pivoted her career
From a celebrity stylist and designer to a rockstar publicist and business woman.

This audio-based app connects people with experts from various trades through ‘rooms’ where anyone can join, listen, and participate in the conversation. Although the app is still in its beta phase, Liana saw this as an opportunity to teach business owners and professionals about PR. Due to the increasing demand on Clubhouse, Liana created ZavoMedia.com PR Academy to teach small businesses, professionals, and entrepreneurs the proper PR strategies to boost their personal brand in the press, media and TV.
