Follow these steps to make your next pitch perfect. 💯
1. Keep the entire pitch short: only add enough info to hook a journalist, nothing more.
2. Make your hook a quick, snappy sentence that catches attention.🏃
3. Summarize the story in the body of the email in 1-2 paragraphs.
💥TAILOR YOUR PITCHES💥
How?
✔️Make your email personal. If you know something about the journalist, mention it.
✔️Double-check that you have their name right.
✔️Don’t send mass emails. Only send pitches to one contact. Don’t BCC. It should feel like a 1:1 communication.
Our tip? Review written content by reading it backwards, one word at a time, and then review each sentence individually for clarity and concision. ✅
