Building successful media relations
A successful relationship with the media can do wonders for your bottom line. But like any relationship it’s important to understand what both parties want and the pitfalls to be avoided along the way.
How do you go about building media relations and what are some of the keys to ensuring yours is the story that gets put in front of a huge TV, radio, web or print audience of potential customers.
