Media Pitch & Story Angle

Create a media pitch strategy for the following story:

Organization: [COMPANY/ORGANIZATION NAME]
Story Topic: [WHAT YOU WANT COVERED]
News Hook: [TIMELY ANGLE OR TRIGGER]
Target Publication Type: [NATIONAL/TRADE/LOCAL/DIGITAL/BROADCAST]
Journalist Beat: [TECHNOLOGY/BUSINESS/LIFESTYLE/HEALTH/FINANCE]
Pitch Timeline: [IMMEDIATE/PLANNED DATE]

Develop the pitch across these six sections:

## Section 1: Subject Line and Opening Hook
Write five compelling email subject lines under 50 characters each. Craft an opening sentence that immediately establishes relevance to the journalist's beat and recent coverage. The hook should present a question, surprising statistic, or timely connection that makes the journalist want to read further.

## Section 2: Story Angle Development
Articulate three distinct story angles that could work for different types of coverage. For each angle, identify the core tension or conflict that makes it newsworthy. Explain why this story matters to the publication's audience right now. Include the broader trend or movement this story connects to.

## Section 3: Pitch Email Body
Write the complete pitch email in under 200 words. Lead with the strongest story angle and immediately explain what is new or different. Include one compelling data point or proof point. Offer exclusive access, data, or interview opportunities. Close with a clear call to action and flexible availability.

## Section 4: Supporting Evidence Package
List the proof points, data sources, and third-party validation available. Identify expert spokespeople and their relevant credentials. Outline visual assets available for the story. Include customer or user stories that could support the narrative.

## Section 5: Personalization Framework
Create a research checklist for personalizing each pitch to individual journalists. List three recent articles by the target journalist to reference. Identify connection points between the journalist's coverage themes and your story. Write alternate opening sentences for different journalist profiles.

## Section 6: Follow-Up Sequence
Design a three-touch follow-up sequence with specific timing. Write the follow-up email for day three with a new angle or updated information. Create a brief phone script for voicemail follow-up. Include guidelines for when to move on versus persist with a journalist.
