Here’s a marketing trend that we love.

Simplified brand messaging is a must.

To stay competitive you want to simplify your copy to make it short and to the point.

This should be applied to social media, ads, and your website.

Think about making everything clean, simple and catchy.

Since short is on trend, we’ll leave it there 😁

So much goes into a newscast, especially when you are on air for an extended period of time.

Many don’t know how many people it takes to put on the news.

You know who has the toughest job? The crew behind the camera and in the control room. The camera operators, directors, producers, audio techs, engineers, bookers and editors. They are the ones who make it happen every single day.

If you are even in a studio, give these folks a thank you.

Here’s why social media is so important for your brand.

You may only have one chance- at least with the media.

One of the things we always tell our clients is that if the media asks you to be interviewed, you should say yes.

This mainly applies if this is the first time they’ve asked you to be on that media outlet.

By saying yes, this could create a whole new set of opportunities for you and your company. 🎉

Coming up with the busihsss name, overcoming challenges, adapting to change and the success of clients. Alison shares her advice and experience in Canvas Rebel Magazine.

We were lucky to catch up with Alison Maloni recently and have shared our conversation below. Hi Alison , thanks for joining us today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand? It took me a long time to pull the trigger and start my public relations

01/12/2024

I’m going to let you in on a little newsroom insider info.

When you are pitching the media, don’t email attachments. ❌

Many media outlets will mark outside emails with attachments as spam. The journalist may never see it.

Instead, embed photos and hyperlink any videos or articles in your email, ✅

And one more tip, many journalists are on their phones more then the computer - so keep your pitches short! They are getting hundreds of pitches a day.

Of course, you can read all my tips on how to get news coverage in my book, Breaking in the News. Build Buzz for Your Brand. You can find it on Amazon 💫

Alison Maloni explains.

07/25/2023

You have to do a media interview, but you’ve never done one before. 😩

Before your anxiety kicks into high gear, here are a things you can do to prepare.

1️⃣ Phone a Friend. Get a friend and put on a mock interview. Give them the topic and let them ask you questions.

2️⃣ Record. Use your phone to record the interview.

3️⃣ Watch. Go back and watch every part of the interview. Look for things that you can improve upon and things that you should change.

4️⃣ Practice. Do another mock interview after watching your video and make those tweaks. Keep practicing using the camera or speaking in front of the mirror. The more you practice the more comfortable you’ll feel.

5️⃣ Call the Pros. We specialize in media training and we always have a little fun with it. Message us for details ⬆️

There are hundreds of contacts at the national news networks. How do you know the right ones to reach out to?

✅ Send your pitch or press release to the booker of the show you want to be on.

✅ Each show can have one or more bookers. They are the ones in charge of placing guests in their show.

✅ You can also send your pitch to the executive producers and anchors, but we have had the best look going directly to the bookers. These are the folks you want to establish a relationship with.

✅ You can find them on Google, LinkedIn, Muckrack and Twitter.
