How Meghan Markle used a 'bold' networking strategy to get stronger
Prior to Meghan Markle's meeting with Prince Harry, she was already a big name in Hollywood starring in a hit legal drama Costume, had contracts with top fashion designers, and even had her own website called The Tig.
As for her success, celebrity biographer Sean Smith, in his new book Meghan Misunderstood, revealed how the Duchess of Sussex was able to make major connections.
According to Smith, Meghan used a networking technique when she visited London in the summer of 2016.
“One of the strategies Meghan used to improve her profile was to stand next to a famous person; they both could benefit from the resulting publicity. This approach had worked well, for example, when pictured with Irish golf champion Rory McIlroy. , " he wrote.
“He poured cold water on her as part of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge which was very trendy for a while. Rory had named Meghan, which meant he was the one throwing the water out and she was the one that was soaked. "
The writer also revealed that Meghan liked to strike up a conversation and would text people she didn't know, hoping they would respond.
“Meghan didn't bother sending cold messages to someone. She was used to using social media to reach out. She had done it boldly at the start of Le Tig and made contact with model Heidi Klum, whom she had never met. "
Meghan launched her lifestyle blog, The Tig, in May 2014. On September 9, she wrote about Klum and then asked him to contribute to the blog.
“Last year at a Golden Globe after-party, I spotted what can only be described as the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Yes, empirically speaking, Heidi Klum is magnificent, ”she wrote.
"But it was more than that… she looked real. Like the kind of chick you'd like to have a drink with, who juggles the role of mom and being a producer / host / model / designer and isn't afraid to get dirty or laugh to herself.
