You booked the interview. You sent the talking points. You followed up on time. So why didn’t your client get quoted?

In this week’s post, I’m sharing a real-life example (from this week!) of how one small change turned a flat, unusable interview into a total home run — and what every publicist should take away from it. Plus, I’m giving you a checklist with a little homework to help level up your clients’ interview skills.

Because if you don’t know how your client communicates best, you’re gambling with coverage — It’s not enough to book the interview; the goal is to land the story.
