MEDIA KITS FOR NEW BUSINESSES
Best is to have a kit if you are a new business, product or event. They are mainly used at events and for launches as a package of information for journalists to help them write their story.
The point of a media kit is to catch the eye of an event host, podcast, or journalist and make them want to write an article or do an interview.
It should be a one-stop shop for all of the information agents, promoters or journalists need.
In the past, a media kit was often presented in a cardboard folder, but now thanks to the digital revolution, most media kits are in PDF format and can be downloaded from your website or attached to an email.
MEDIA KITS FOR NEW BUSINESSES:
Depending on your business or the reason why you are using a media kit, this list may change. But there are a few basic items which should always be included to make sure your media kit is effective as possible.
Contact details: Include the contact details of the person who can be interviewed, a PR contact or anyone else of relevance. Information about the company/person:
Include a succinct bio to help the journalist and share interesting information they would need to research. Try not to make it more than three paragraphs for each person.
A media release: Journalists will want to know what is going on and have some details about the event. Your media release should include quotes from the person who is available for interview.
Images: Make sure you put some images in your media kit that journalists can use for their stories.
Most journalists require high-resolution images, but if there isn’t enough space put them on as low-resolution and let the journalists know they can contact you for high-resolution if needed. Some other options which aren’t as vital but you may want to think about are: Testimonials from clients or customers: Your happy customers are your best marketing.
Use your best testimonials to demonstrate your credibility.
Annual report: If your business is in a field where journalists are interested in your annual reports, make sure you attach one for easy reference.
Other interesting facts: Outline anything else the business/person is up to that hosts & journalists may find interesting.
Remember, they are always looking for interesting angles, so make their work easy for them.
