How you can plan a virtual press briefing for international journalists and the digital assets needed to get media coverage.
Get Noticed! Send a text.Virtual press briefings can save you time and money and still get the same results as an in person briefing but you need to take into account the relationship that you want to build with the media, just as much as the information that you want to share. In this podcast I talk about how we are preparing for a virtual press briefing in Singapore with video from around Asia to talk with our client who is based in Dubai about the $1 million water awards. I talk about how we will make the recipients of the Awards into the real story, about the kind of digital assets that we will prepare, and even the innovative media invitation which we created which may be an idea for you if you are planning on inviting Media to hear your story. I mention using Descript, Prowly and Bonjoro.Support the showSubscribe to my free newsletterhttps://www.theunnoticedentrepreneur.com/

What did Amanda Gorman and the 192,000 flags at the Biden Inauguration say about how to use power of words and symbolism during a time of crisis management?
Get Noticed! Send a text.Where can we find light in this never-ending shade? This will become a phrase etched in everyone's mind as the counterpoint to the Biden inauguration, and the amazing display of eloquence and presence by the poet laureat Amanda Gorman. However, there was a lot more going on that day including the placement of 192,00 flags representing all 56 American states and territories. This episode includes a recording of "The Hill We Climb" which when heard rather than watched is all the more impactful. I share this because firstly it comes as a massive relief to have inspiration from the other side of the pond instead of consternation, but also because it gives great guidance to everyone about the power of words, symbols and the need to let new generations articulate the future vision whilst older leaders play the role of mentors and facilitators. This is exactly what we talk about in the SPEAK|pr program.Here is a transcript of her inaugural poem, “The Hill We Climb.”When day comes we ask ourselves,Support the showSubscribe to my free newsletterhttps://www.theunnoticedentrepreneur.com/

In less than 10 minutes a day you could be Prospectin to over 722 million contacts on Linkedin using this Chrome browser extension.
Get Noticed! Send a text. If you are anything like me then LinkedIn is a love|hate thing; I need but it drains my time. Guillaume Portalier, co-founder of Prospectin shares how his start-up can automate lead generation without risking being delisted by LinkedIn. They are pretty smart as they set maximum daily action quotas (between 80 and 100 for connection requests and follows, between 120 and 150 for messages and between 160 and 200 for profile visits), once these quotas are reached, your actions are no longer sent, until your quotas reset the next day. We talk about how automation can allow outreach without exhaustion, use of templates and how LinkedIn can be 10x more impactful than traditional email.
