Pitch it to me: Connecting
with Media Influencers
November
9, 2006
One
of the biggest challenges technology companies face is learning
how tell their stories in a way that causes an "a-ha"
moment for media influencers, including journalists and industry
analysts. It's been proven time and time again: media coverage
often drives sales. The key to getting good media coverage is
in capturing the attention of today's top journalists from the
outset of a meeting. What makes a good story, and how can you
get in front of your most important media contacts? This panel
will answer those questions and many more as business and technology
media influencers from Southern California gather to discuss how
they develop stories and how you can be a part of them.
By popular demand, the evening will feature an interactive Pitch
Session with the panel. A few attendees will be selected to present
a 90-second pitch idea to the journalists for their instant feedback.
Some lucky companies may even walk away with a feature on their
technology! Don't miss this special evening of interaction with
Southern California's finest journalists.
Topics we will cover:
-
What
topics are driving media today?
-
How
can executives best prepare for media interviews?
-
How
much do customer references matter?
-
What
makes stories stand out for reporters?
-
What's
the best advice a journalist can offer an emerging company?
