How to Get Real Media Coverage ft. Brianna Dahlquist
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, former FOX and NBC news anchor Brianna Dahlquist breaks down what PR actually is (hint: it's not press releases), how to position yourself for media attention without looking desperate/
After 8 years in the news industry, Brianna knows what the media actually want, and what makes them hit delete on your pitch in 3 seconds.
Brianna is the Founder & CEO of Agency 28 PR, where she helps nonprofits, athletes, and purpose-driven brands craft stories the media can't ignore.
Here's what you'll learn:
- Why "branding" and "PR" are NOT the same (and how confusing them costs you opportunities)
- The #1 reason reporters ignore your pitches (and who you should actually be emailing)
- What makes a story "newsworthy" vs. just... noise
- Why most entrepreneurs are one professional headshot away from being taken seriously
The truth? Your story is sitting there. You just don't know how to tell it yet.
This conversation will change that.
