Winning media relations, PR, government and public affairs programs are not valet parking garages with free in and out privileges.

They are more like annual gym or personal training membership or race training that require sustained investment if you want to see results.

The “take a hint” gut check for media pitching: ⬇️ ⬇️

1️⃣ Pitch a reporter something you think is closely aligned to their beat, interests, writing cadence.

2️⃣ Wait at least 18 - 24 hours for a response.

3️⃣ If no response, re-ping with a gentle follow up, but NOT if there’s major breaking news.

The days where the mere mention of AI and machine learning in a pitch earned real attention from funders and reporters are gone gone gone.

That 🚢 sailed two years ago friends.
