Pitch support
Pitching for new business is tough. So going in armed with a unique take on a potential client's story is a big plus. Media Pilot's media perception reports bring a new edge to a PR company's pitch skills.
A media perception report assesses the multiple approaches journalists will take to covering a business and identifies the stories worth shouting about. This is a detailed analysis of a potential client's messages from the perspective of a business journalist. This research looks at the potential client through a journalist's eyes. It spots how and why their story has been interpreted and suggests new ways of positioning them to the media. It also highlights fresh story opportunities. There is a gulf between how a business perceives itself and how the press view it. So it takes an experienced journalist to spot the real story lurking among product lines and service offerings. These reports contain story angles for the national media and have proved instrumental in winning new business. Get a different voice in your PR pitch. Go in armed with a media perception report.
