One of the main reasons people don’t get media coverage is their pitch just isn’t very good - and they don’t even know it. Or they send it to the wrong outlet, reporter or producer.

Many people give up and never get the coverage they deserve.

There is a better way - with The Media Insiders. Their six-step process will teach you tricks, tips and tools you need to get the coverage you want, and one-on-one coaching from two Emmy award-winning journalists.

As former TV reporters, Diane White and Deborah Sherman received thousands of pitches over the years. They will teach you what gets attention and what gets deleted.

Deborah and Diane’s Media Insiders Fast Track Program includes six modules to teach you to pitch like a pro. From developing your pitch and media tool kit to creating a media list and a plan for follow-up. After each module, you will have a one-on-one coaching.

Once you’ve completed this six-part program, you will join the exclusive Media Insiders Facebook coaching group with twice monthly, live “fix my pitch sessions”; weekly live media tips, quarterly media plan templates and quarterly live group calls. Plus, you will have access to Deborah, Diane and their team (all former journalists)

Make me a Media Insider

The Media Insiders will be a game-changer for you!!

You’ll begin with a 30-minute strategy call to kick off your fast track program. This will be followed by your six modules. Following each lesson, you will have a 20-minute one-on-one coaching call with either Deborah or Diane to review your action items.

Why PR? – Your PR Purpose:
This module will help you determine why you need PR and set specific goals and objectives. You can’t hit ‘send’ on that email pitch before you understand your goals, what you want to achieve and how PR can help your business. Outlining your purpose for PR is step number one.

Perfect Your Story:
Who are you and why are you newsworthy? What expertise will you share when you land the feature of a lifetime? Why will people relate to you? These are all important questions to ask yourself. In module two, you will identify the angles and ideas that will get you noticed.

Crafting Your Pitch:
Your pitch is the first, and often, the only thing that reporters will read. Crafting the right pitch for the right reporter is key. We have real examples that teach you how to grab the reader’s attention. In module three you’ll also receive tips to Help a Reporter Out (HARO) for a straightforward pitching process.

Media Tool Kit:
The press release is NOT dead. Once you get a bite, you need to provide producers and editors with more information, context and data. A press release is one of many tools you need to create for your tool kit. In module four you will receive actual, successful press releases and media one sheets to review.  Due to COVID, virtual interviews are here to stay so we will share best tools to help you look and sound like a media star from your home or office.

Creating the Media List and Building Relationships:
In lesson five, you will learn how to create a media list and build relationships. You’ll learn how to determine who to pitch and how to build a relationship. These are skills that you must have if want to get your name, and the name of your business, out there.

Media Outreach:
The right pitch at the right time is so important and in module six, you will learn exactly when, how and how often to pitch the media. You’ll also see that the fortune is in the follow-up and learn when to give up and try other media.
