Newswire Shares Three Must-Haves of a Quality Media Pitch
RALEIGH, N.C., September 26, 2023 (Newswire.com) - A media pitch is a concise email (it can also be a phone call or direct message) that’s written for the media. The goal is to capture the media’s attention, so they use a brand's story and create one of their own.
As an industry leader in press release distribution, Newswire provides its customers with media pitching support through its Press Release Optimizer (PRO) offerings, including Media PRO and Total PRO.
“Strategic media pitching fans the flame of a newsworthy press release,” said Jennifer Hammers, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Issuer Direct. “Effective media pitching takes skill and strategy, and that’s exactly what our experts offer our Media PRO and Total PRO customers when they turn their owned media into earned media.”
Newswire shares three main components of an effective media pitch. They include:
Subject Line – The subject line of a media pitch is the first thing a journalist will read. Make it short. Make it memorable. Make them want to open your email.
Timing – Avoid sending emails late Friday afternoon and on the weekends.
Journalist-focused – Focus on the journalist and their audience. By doing this, you create a pitch that’s for them and not outwardly self-serving.
