(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The National Christian Association of Professional Speakers (NCAPS ) is proud to be an official sponsor of Podfest Expo 2026 in Orlando, Fl, recognized as the world's longest-running annual in-person podcasting event.

As part of its sponsorship presence, NCAPS CEO Katie Hornor (sometimes misspelled Horner) took the stage to equip entrepreneurs, content creators, and small business owners with practical public relations strategies designed to increase visibility, credibility, and long-term brand authority.

Podfest Expo, founded by Chris Krimitsos, has grown into a global gathering point for thousands of podcasters, media professionals, and digital entrepreneurs seeking to amplify their message and expand their impact.

Elevating Ethical Visibility
In her session, Hornor focused on helping small business owners move beyond social media noise and into strategic media positioning. Attendees learned how to:
* Leverage press releases with podcast guesting to build third-party credibility
* Position themselves as trusted experts in competitive markets
* Create sustainable visibility without compromising values
* Generate buzz from interviews and media appearances

Drawing from her background as a professional educator, multi–award-winning author and speaker, and business owner, Hornor emphasized that effective PR is not about hype or manipulation. It is about clarity, credibility, and consistency becoming visible to the world at large.

She shared frameworks for building consistent media buzz and explained how even small businesses can secure meaningful exposure without large agency budgets.
