How to observe the media and come up with pitch topics

How to observe the media and come up with pitch topics

Hello hello welcome back to the first podcast episode of 2021 of the Human Connection podcast, I’m your host Brittney Lynn and I’m so excited you are here listening!

In case you are new around these parts, welcome! I’m a female entrepreneur who runs a PR agency that serves purpose-driven online entrepreneurs.

Our team represents clients across a variety of industries landing them podcast interviews, publication interviews, and tv interviews. 

Many people want to work with us because we do the heavy lifting of PR — we come up with pitch ideas, do the research on the best outlets to reach out to, connect with the journalists/podcast hosts/producers, and land our clients the interview.

But…not everyone is at a place where it makes sense to completely outsource this work. Maybe you aren’t ready to pay an ongoing retainer fee to an agency like ours to do everything for you.

But you are ready to start getting mentioned by the media.

To see your name in prominent publications, to become that go-to expert in your industry.

So, this solo episode is going to share how you can observe what the media is reporting on and how you can come up with those pitch topics for yourself!

Let’s get into it.

How to observe the media and come up with pitch topics

Show notes

In today’s episode, you’ll find out:

  • The importance of consuming the media outlets you want to pitch
  • How to pay attention to media headlines and a break down of 4 headline examples and why they work
  • What is a “hook” and the 3 components of an effective hook
  • How the media works in regards to first time pitchers

Your 2021 visibility plan

Your 2021 visibility plan

Welcome back to another episode of the Human Connection podcast! Today is a solo episode from me and we are talking about creating a 2021 visibility plan that works for you and your goals. 

Lots of people have their eyes on 2021. It’s hard not to, right? I think we can collectively agree that 2020 ended up being a year none of us expected. What you had set out to do at the beginning of the year maybe didn’t come to fruition. Plans changed. Maybe drastically, maybe only slightly.

2020 has also been a year of reflection for many of us. It’s caused us to pause, reflect, take note of what’s working, what’s not, who we want to follow and support, and who we don’t, how we want to spend our time and how we don’t want to spend our time.

Tune into this episode to learn how to reflect on 2020, what questions to ask yourself for 2021, and so much more so you can create a visibility plan that feels good for you.

Your 2021 visibility plan

Show notes

In today’s episode, you’ll find out:

  • How to reflect on 2020 as a business owner and the questions to ask yourself as you think back about the last 12 months
  • When it doesn’t make sense to pitch yourself to podcasts (and other types of media)
  • How to craft a visibility plan that supports you and your business
