giving the profession a bad reputation.

And external communication teams at brands 
prezly 
Check a recent case study
Many brands are facing the same challenges 
prezly
prezly 
There’s an increasing imbalance in media relations
prezly 
Many journalists are leaving newsrooms to work 
in corporate communications roles at brands.
prezly 
News writers now are outnumbered five to one 
by PR people trying to get media attention. 
source 〉
They get pitched over twenty times 
per day about brands. 
source 〉
prezly 
Email has made it simple for PR pro’s to pitch many 
news writers at once, hoping that something sticks.
prezly 
Although writers are flooded with pitches, only 
one in ten often write a story based on a pitch. 
source 〉
In other words: 
most pitches are spam.
This is the S.O.S approach
Sending Out … Stuff
What do news writers say about it?
“Make sure it’s relevant. 
I get so many that I have to 
be ruthless. 
Mail Online

How not to do it 
Real example, keeping brand confidential 
Subject: 
Press release: Airline brand opens a base in Location 
! 
Dear journalist, 
Attached you’ll find a press release about the arrival of airline 
brand in Location. 
If you’d like more info feel free to contact me.
How not to do it 
Real example, keeping brand confidential 
Noooooooooo!
How not to do it 
Real example, keeping brand confidential 
Irrelevant for journalist that received it 
No personalisation 
No clear value proposition for the journalist 
All recipients in CC 
Press release in heavy PDF attachment (1.5MB) 
Media assets via Dropbox link at end of 5-page press release
It’s time to stop this 
spray & pray approach
There are more effective ways 
with less collateral damage

Here’s a 4-step approach 
Get to know your contacts 
Create a visual social media story 
Send multimedia pitches

1 
Get to know 
your contacts 
A rolodex 
prezly
This is how 70% of media lists look like 
Not much different from a rolodex 
Oftentimes it’s just an email address with a beat
It’s called media 
relations for a reason 
Turn your email addresses into people
Do it as you go: 
Inbox profiles via Rapportive 
prezly
Follow them on social media. 
Read their updates every day. 
prezly
Enrich your Excel list automatically with 
social media accounts with Prezly 
Now you can add them to a Twitter list. 
prezly
Also read the articles of your contacts 
prezly 
subscribe to updates of digital articles in Feedly
Now you can keep tabs on your media 
contacts in 10 minutes per day
2 
Create a visual social 
media story 
prezly
Think visually. 
Enrich your stories with images 
and videos to increase interest 
and engagement.

they need to be successful, the more 
coverage you’ll get.

traditional press, but for 
consumers, bloggers, social media
