Let’s say you’ve defined your message and fine-tuned your image, what then? Well, what about taking your message to hundreds, thousands, possibly millions of potential clients and/or customers? How? Two words: media relations, a specialized form of public relations. This is something you can attempt on your own, or you can seek out the professionals for help. Of course, when you do, expect to pay a fee for their services.
Never before have people been able to share information on such a global scale and with such dizzying speed. Along with newspapers, magazines, radio, TV and the Internet, more and more avenues of communication are becoming available. In many ways, media is magic- it is modern day alchemy.
For instance, it is possible to do an interview in the morning and have a story saturate the nation by lunchtime. Effective media placement can legitimize, validate, sell products, bring in clients, forge new alliances, bring you in contact with benefactors you never knew existed, and take you into the offices, boardrooms and even bedrooms of the most powerful people in the world.
If you are being interviewed on an evening news segment, your interview could be sandwiched between an interview with the U.S. President and a feature on the newest medical breakthrough. Why is that significant? Well, it's the opposite of guilt by association; it's importance and validation by association.
