My article, ‘3 Reasons for Failed Pitches’ has been featured by Ragan’s PR Daily!
From the article:
“Contacting journalists and getting your brand placed in a story begins with writing a pitch.
Crafting a message that is strong and interesting can be a challenge—and there are several mistakes that many PR pros make during the process.

1. Hogging the spotlight
Though you are writing a pitch to introduce a journalist to your brand and share why they should cover your story, don’t make the mistake of making it all about you.
