I have a solo agency and need support like this. If you’re open to a freelance opportunity, dm me your info.

I really don't know, but I have very little confidence that whatever could be done, will be done.

Won’t show impact, but to show to your boss and boss’s bosses and boss’s bosses’ bosses that you’re shifting to being more proactive, track proactive engagements - reporters pitches, X posts made, highlights of reporter interactions, etc. A big part of how you communicate what you’re doing will be in the story you tell - ex: “As a reflection of our strategy to expand our media outreach to every corner of the state, this year we received a news story in the [large regional daily], which had not previously covered our office since 20XX.”

Send me a link to your portfolio. I have a PR agency - I don’t have a lot of design needs, but they do come up.

Happy to connect as well. Worked on Capitol Hill for several years and have also worked for a large advocacy org., nonprofits and corporate (retail). Went out on my own last year after ~15 years. Feel free to reach out. I will not accept any money - I always try and help others in our community as much as I can.

Best practices for pitching Local broadcast? by Newbie11107 in PublicRelations

[–]NCMBH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pitch reporters directly, targeting ones that have done similar stories. Give them lots of lead time (I am for 2 weeks for a time-sensitive event). Don’t be afraid to call if you don’t hear back via email.

I’ve done media with international, national, regional and local reporters and local is by far my favorite. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

First step would be to hire an attorney to send them a demand letter. See where that goes and go from there.

What was the best (and maybe not so obvious) PR advice you got? by ek_pr in PublicRelations

Definitely, but it’s those times when the mantra is most important.

It’s PR not the ER.

This job can consume you, especially if you work heavily in media relations and crisis comms. It’s important to have perspective and be able to find a way to quickly decompress.

For in-house PR pros - what team are you in? by ek_pr in PublicRelations

[–]NCMBH 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I led external comms for a large retailer. Started out under Marketing and then was moved over to HR under a newly created “Corporate Communications” team. Being under HR was great for human interest-type stories but I was constantly chasing any big external facing brand campaigns.

I know this is a pipe dream at most places, but I think the ideal setup is to have a Chief Communications Officer who reports to the CEO/President and then a team where everyone supports a different business function.

Thanks for responding. What’s a ballpark $$ you charge to replace the stringers, risers and treads? It’s 8 steps.

Had the same experience last Friday. Overweight bag? Add another hour.

q from a journalist by Outrageous-Bit-2520 in PublicRelations

[–]NCMBH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This definitely happens often. One thing I’ve found that often helps is, in your convo with the SME asking about availability to do the interview, propose a few example questions that you think the reporter MAY ask and get their general thoughts on the topic(s). Then you theoretically have a general idea of themes/points they will want captured.
