What journalists actually need from you

  • Angle in the first two lines.
  • Proof (numbers, credibility, access).
  • Clear ask (interview, review, announcement).
  • Relevance to their beat, not your ego.

PR vs marketing

Marketing is what you say. PR is what others say about you. Together, they build trust and momentum.

Marketing

Owned/paid channels, conversion paths, control.

PR

Earned credibility, reputation, third-party validation.

Why pitches fail

  1. No angle: it’s only an announcement.
  2. Too broad: no clear audience or beat.
  3. Too long: buried lead.
  4. No proof: nothing to trust.
  5. Unclear ask: what do you want them to do?
