You’re speaking, you’re podcasting, you’re creating videos to increase your visibility.

Have you thought about expanding your visibility strategy to include “traditional” media like TV, radio, and magazines?

Appearing on TV and radio as a political analyst over the past 12 years has been a vital part of building my personal brand and visibility, not only in my local market (Orlando) but also using those clips on my website and social media to build credibility.

Seeing yourself on TV with your name on the lower third of the screen can be a thrill – and it’s something that can position you as an expert in a way that online videos you create yourself can’t.

Our mission at Speaking Your Brand is to get more women in positions of influence and power – and that includes more representation of women (that means you!) in the media, especially TV and magazines.

What’s the best way to get started?

What are local TV, radio, and publications looking for in your pitches?

How can you connect with producers, reporters, and writers?

In this episode, publicity expert Amanda Berlin gives us concrete strategies we can use to:

  • Take our speaking topics and turn them into media topics
  • Write pitches that get noticed, including the headline and tease
  • Emphasize the local angle
  • Identify visuals that would enhance our media segments
  • Connect with producers, reporters, and writers, including the best ways to contact them
  • Get a feature in a magazine
  • Contribute our own articles to publications
