When I started pitching our clients’ content to media, I ignored a major component of a successful outreach campaign. I thought it was too formal and unnecessary. Upon reflection, I don’t know how I got along without it.
A press pack or media kit sounds simple and obvious for public relations pros pitching media to write about a company. But many marketers don’t think about how a press kit (or even the media in general) can be helpful to their content promotion. They don’t go the extra mile to produce and distribute assets that journalists can leverage to support their reporting or that other third-party content providers can use for their content needs.
