Master the Art of Press Releases
Clients often ask, "How do I make contact with media professionals? I have a great story but don’t know how to share it."
This forms a large part of my work, but it shouldn't be an industry secret. In our 24/7 world, media professionals are constantly looking for compelling stories to feature. As business leaders, it’s crucial to know how to present yourself professionally.
One effective way is by drafting an impactful press release. A great press release starts with a compelling story and is essential for capturing media attention. But it's not just about the content; distribution is key. From personalising your outreach to timing your release perfectly, many factors influence success.
Curating a targeted media list, engaging with journalists, and using the right distribution strategies can significantly increase your chances of getting your news picked up. Integrate your press releases with your social media and online presence for maximum impact.
