PUTTING ON A GOOD FACE FOR TV REPORTERS

September 18, 2015

Felipe Calderon

Before becoming a publicist, BoardroomPR Account Director Laura Burns spent nearly a decade working in TV news. Everyone, especially her clients, always asks her how to get on TV. Here’s her best piece of advice:

1. Have something unique or interesting to say. Reporters always want to be able to provide their viewers or readers with NEW information.

2. Make yourself available. Reporters are ALWAYS on deadlines. If they request a specific interview time, try your best to make it fit into your schedule. If you don’t, someone else will.

3. Be personable. Get to know the reporter. If you make a good connection, they’ll think of you the next time they need an expert for a story they’re working on.

4. And of course, it never hurts to have a great publicist on your side!

We absolutely love working with the BoardroomPR team. They have guided us in a multitude of directions, telling the St. Thomas Aquinas story to our alumni, current and potential families. They have embraced the traditions and excellence that STA continues to uphold. The team approach has been ideal for our administration.

I was the first employee hired at Boardroom in 1990 and I’ve since watched the company grow with the same integrity, dedication and ROI. Boardroom is top of my list when referring a client to a PR agency.

Boardroom promised us results and they delivered. The Wall Street Journal’s front page, Forbes, CNN, and NBC are just a few examples. Boardroom’s media experts spoiled us. They also helped us successfully launch Equilibrix, our email marketing company.

The BoardroomPR team has played a critical role in helping us elevate the Bento brand and share the news of our statewide expansion through traditional media, social media and event planning. They worked closely with our marketing team and have been integral in creating awareness for our restaurant openings. They are a pleasure to work with.

The “dot com” industry has been very competitive and Boardroom’s media savvy and persistence cut through the clutter and got our company featured in the national media, including the Nightly Business Report. Boardroom really delivers.

I am not sure where our non-profit would be without BoardroomPR, but I do know that with their great public relations services and guidance we are able to raise several million dollars in private funding every year! No South Florida charity or corporation should be without them!
