Happy Thursday everyone!
Wow, Tuesday’s Ask Me Anything Zoom was SO good … we covered a lot of ground.
Here are just some of the topics you missed during this hour-long chat:
Are review stories always products that you’re obsessed with or are publications assigning them?
What makes an expert stand out to you for you to want to quote them over other options?
What are your pet peeves when interviewing a source?
Are there certain times of the year when writers are assigned to do updates?
What is most helpful when an editor is testing a product? How many follow ups? What information is best to share?
Virtual deskside are getting harder to book … how does media feel about them? What are the other options to get our brands in front of media?
Can you share your experience with PressHook, Quoted, etc?
If I pitch you a product that’ snot a fit, is it irritating if I pitch it again with another angle later?
When it comes to exclusive vs embargo pitching, do you have a preference or thoughts between these 2 approaches?
Thoughts on virtual deskside vs. face to face meetings?
I also got a TON of great feedback, including these testimonials:
“Back at it again with your AMA magic, huh? Seriously, how do you keep nailing it every single time? Just when I thought the last session was an hour of awesomeness, you went and topped it. Can we just declare you the AMA Queen already?
Your energy and insights are like a double espresso shot for my motivation – so needed and appreciated! The way you tackle questions with such flair and fun makes learning a blast.
Can’t wait to see what you’ll bring to the next one – no pressure, but we’re expecting fireworks! If you ever decide to go on an AMA world tour, sign me up for the front-row tickets, lol!” — Amy Bartko
“Super informative AMA today -- found out a few tricks and tips that will be really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to host! — Alex Ota
“I wanted to reach out and thank you for hosting another great AMA and answering so many of our questions. You always bring such insightful, and candid, information to these meetings and I believe we all leave feeling like we all learned something new!” — Vanessa O’Brien
