How to read the numbers
A journalist decides in the subject line. Everything else is there to prove it was worth the click.
The shape
Subject: the news in under nine words, without hype.
First line: what is new and why their readers care this week.
Second paragraph: the proof, a number or a named person.
Last line: what you can offer and by when, such as an interview or early data.
Before you send
You have read their last three stories
The embargo and time zone are stated
Attachments are small; images are linked
The pitch is under 150 words
After you send
Log the pitch and set the follow-up date for three working days.
Follow up once with something new. Never send the same note twice.
Rules for the contact book
One row per journalist, with beat, outlet and the date you last spoke.
Only add someone after reading their recent work. A name from a list is not a contact.
Move people between Cold, Warm and Friendly based on real replies.
Monthly clean-up
Open Contacted this month and see who has gone quiet.
Check outlets for staff changes and update beats.
Remove anyone who asked not to be pitched.
Etiquette
Never share one journalist's private note with another.
Do not pitch two people at the same outlet the same exclusive.
Clients remember headlines, not hours. A clear coverage report is the best renewal argument.
What goes in
Each piece with headline, outlet, date and tone.
Estimated reach, labelled as an estimate.
One paragraph on what the coverage did for the campaign message.
Build it in ten minutes
Open the Coverage table and choose Published this month.
Group by campaign and copy the headlines into the client report.
Add two quotes from the pieces that match the key message.
Write the plan for next month: two stories to pitch and one to hold.
Be straight about misses
Say what did not land and what you will change. Clients trust an agency that explains a miss.
The week before
Embargoed materials sent with the lift time in the subject
Spokespeople briefed and available all day
Approved quotes and facts in one shared page
On the day
Check the embargo lifts and the website is live.
Send a short note to everyone who asked for a heads up.
Log coverage as it appears and thank the journalist.
Post only what the client approved.
The day after
Collect screenshots and links.
Note questions journalists asked; they become next time's pitch.
