Getting Your Slice Of The Publicity Pie

Howdee All,

I wanted to kill two birds with one stone post here…

It’s an obvious statement but ‘knowing what is being said about you, your business or industry can profoundly influence your strategic direction and future growth‘… but sifting through all the media to find articles or comments that are worth tracking is not only costly but hugely time consuming.

This is where a great media clipping company like Slice Media come in. They will do the ’searching’ for you… simply set up your tracking folders and Slice will get to work, monitoring Australian and New Zealand press, TV and radio media for matching news items. You can change your criteria at any time to make it as specific or as general as you like.

If you decide to get serious about this publicity thing, I highly recommend that you use the services of a ‘media clipping company’ because not only will you be informed when a ‘pitch’ gets exposure, but if you track competitors and your industry as a whole, it will provide you with tonnes of opportunities to become a ‘industry commentator’ on the various ‘hot topics’ that are being covered in the press.

I only recently heard about Slice when a friend and publicist Sally Romano mentioned it on her Publicity Queen Blog

Sally is one of the jam-packed interviewees that feature in the Renegade Publicist home Study Course.

Australia’s Leading Publicity and Media Directory

Evening All…

I just wanted to let you all know about an alternative to AAP Media Net for getting in touch with journalists within Australia….

A company called Media Monitors offers a number of services relating to publicity here in Australia - everything from distribution, to monitoring your clippings to analysing your success.

These guys are nuts - they have over 120 national broadcast monitors working around the clock to produce 14,000 summaries from over 1500 radio and television programmes daily. Plus, they employee a bunch of “Reader Analysts” who read over 16,000 articles a day across Australia and NZ.

Now, amongst all that Media Monitors puts out a great directory called the Australian Media Directory.

  • Mediadirectory

    Mediadirectory is Australia’s most comprehensive and authoritative hard copy media directory. Revised and reprinted monthly, it provides details for every media outlet, editor and important correspondent in Australia.

    The Value Of Bad Language & Publicity…


    Hi Guys…

    I am seriously $^%#! pissed off. I sat down today to get through my ‘to-do’ list which is longer then Ron Jermey’s $@%#

    Now 34 mins later I haven’t ticked off one %#$^$ thing.

    See, somehow I found myself on Matthew Stibble’s blog called Bad Language and I just couldn’t stop reading, as it’s got some really powerful posts on publicity.

    So just to $^@# take up some more of my &%$^! time, I thought I’d take a moment and give some link love…

    Here are a couple of the posts that took up all my $^%$& time.

    Hope you get some value and eat up as much time as I $*&@# did…

    Pete

    P.S. I know my attempt at using a lot of #%$^ to play on the name of Matthew’s blog’s is a really lame joke, but hey its early in the morning here.
