The New PR Playbook: Taylor Materio on Community, Visibility, and Modern Influence

In Episode 9 of BUILT DIFFERENT, Erin Sykes sits down with Taylor Materio, strategist, connector, and partner across multiple Palm Beach ventures, for a conversation on what modern public relations actually demands in today’s luxury market.

Taylor works at the intersection of brand, community, and civic engagement. As a partner in Altima Palm Beach, Materio Consulting, and Let’s Get Social Palm Beach, and serving as President Pro Tem of Lake Clarke Shores, she represents a new model of influence built on relationships rather than press hits.

This episode explores the evolution from traditional PR to what Taylor calls “private relations.” In a market saturated with new brands, nonprofits, and private clubs, visibility alone is not enough. Credibility, community integration, and strategic partnerships now drive long-term relevance.

Erin and Taylor discuss influencer ROI, red flags in modern media, the role of philanthropy in Palm Beach culture, and why brands that try to “buy” their way into a market often miss the point. The takeaway is clear: attention can be purchased. Trust must be earned.

Listen if you’re:

- A founder or brand entering a competitive luxury market

- A nonprofit leader looking to modernize your visibility strategy

- Building a personal brand and unsure how to define your differentiation

- Curious how influencer marketing should actually be measured
