THE YOU FACTOR

When it comes to the YOU FACTOR, here's how it all breaks down...

LOOKS:
do you look and act confident? are you dressed the part?

SOUND:
do you speak with confidence? how well are you projecting your voice? are you pausing appropriately or rattling off stats?

MESSAGE:
what are you saying?

the message

the opportunity to make an impact.
This is your small window of opportunity to make an impact...

the message takes in to account an organization's business objectives, key audiences and method of delivery.

what is the MESSAGE your AUDIENCE NEEDS to hear in THIS moment to help you achieve your OBJECTIVE(S)?

how will you get your msg to your audience THROUGH THE MEDIA FILTER?

how do you increase your chances your msg will meet the reporter's needs?

how will your msg survive the editing process AND meet your audience's expectations?
