Do you have a launch coming up?

Offering an exclusive to a journalist is like SEO for PR: it greatly increases the odds of getting a journalist to open up your email, incentivizes them to tell your story well (knowing that they aren’t competing with other journalists), and is a strong way to start a relationship.

The session will cover how to work with journalists and convince them to write about your company, with topics including:

  • how to choose the right reporter
  • tips on reaching out initially and following up (and how long to wait)
  • a PR launch checklist of deliverables to have ready to go once they say yes
  • post-launch: how to say thanks, stay in touch and become an expert source
Dial-in Info:
Tips:
  1. Mute your mic: to prevent everyone from hearing dogs barking and babies crying, please mute your microphone when you are not speaking.
  2. Wear headphones: for the best audio, wear headphones on your mobile phone or computer.
  3. Close all apps: shut down all other apps for best audio and visual experience.
  4. Speak: be prepared with a 10-15 second elevator pitch and question for the guest.
