Being the quickest to respond, or most prepared with exactly what a journalist or event organiser wants, can sometimes be the key difference between your story being shared and someone else's. And if you want to be front and centre of a conversation, presenting your expertise, being ready counts.
How to use these 15 × 15-minute PR actions
You may want to read them all through and make a note where you have ‘gaps’ in your PR preparation and do those first.
Or you may want to work through them in order as a methodical ‘checklist’ (and we’ve shared a list you can tick off if that helps).
These actions will help prepare you for press opportunities, showcase what you know and how you think and create chances to be published, interviewed and invited to speak.
Some say getting good PR is luck, but we like to think:
luck = preparation + opportunity
If you get all 15 of these 15-minute actions done, you’ll be well prepared for any media opportunity.
