National Media – what does it take?
A national media placement is lightning in a bottle, taking a brand or business to the next level. When I meet with prospective clients, I’m often asked if they can expect national press. The answer: it depends.
Getting national attention requires a strategic approach and several key elements:
📍Build Your Foundation Locally: A strong portfolio of local media coverage is crucial. It demonstrates your brand’s story and builds credibility before you aim for the national stage.
⏱️Invest Time and Resources: Journalists are bombarded with pitches daily. Effective media outreach requires a lot of time and effort from your PR partner. Remember, media coverage is never guaranteed, and a story idea might be picked up months or even a year later.
🤸🏻♀️Embrace Creativity and Flexibility: Crafting compelling narratives is a creative process. To elevate your story for national media, you need to be flexible and adaptable. Journalists focus on newsworthy topics tied to current events and trends.
⚡️Be Prepared to Act Fast: When a journalist shows interest, be ready! Prepare a library of high-resolution images and videos. Also be responsive to requests. Your PR consultant is your liaison and is there to help a client provide concise and timely answers.
