Founders often chase press coverage without a clear objective, wasting effort on generic PR blasts that journalists ignore. This Skill turns media coverage into a tactical tool tied to concrete outcomes like funding announcements, B2B sales credibility, recruiting, or consumer launch spikes.
Help me plan a press strategy for our upcoming Series A announcement, including which journalists to pitch and how to frame the story.

Start by defining what the press is for, such as funding credibility or user acquisition. Then identify specific journalists whose beats match your story, and pitch them a simple, jargon-free narrative that serves their audience rather than your company.
Use a targeted cold outreach approach: research the reporter's previous coverage, lead with a surprising or counter-intuitive angle, and keep the pitch concise. Examples like Meg O'Hara's cold email show that matching the publication's format and mission beats mass pitching.
Press rarely drives B2B signups directly. Its primary value is third-party validation: sales teams link articles in outbound emails and recruiters attach coverage to candidate outreach to signal legitimacy to buyers and hires.
Consider project-based PR help for high-probability events like funding announcements rather than long retainers. Vet agencies by asking what month one looks like, requesting recent writing samples, and meeting the actual day-to-day team.
Avoid mass-blast press releases, jargon-filled announcements, and pitching company benefits instead of reader value. Journalists ignore generic outreach, so tailor every pitch to the specific reporter's beat and previous work.
