Find the story before you write the pitch.

Start with what the audience gets.

A business can be important to its founder without immediately being interesting to a reader. The first job of a PR pitch is to bridge that gap. What does this story help someone understand, notice, or do? A product announcement becomes more useful when it connects to a real problem. An expert becomes more relevant when they can explain something people are already trying to understand.

Get specific about your perspective.

“We are passionate about innovation” tells a journalist very little. A clear observation, an unusual experience, or a practical explanation gives the conversation somewhere to go. Write down the questions customers ask repeatedly. Note the assumptions you regularly correct. Look for the detail that makes your experience different. That is often where an angle begins.

Match the story to the journalist.

A thoughtful pitch reflects what the journalist covers and what their audience needs. Read their work. Understand their subject. Explain why your perspective belongs in that conversation. A short, relevant note with a useful idea gives a journalist a clearer decision than a long introduction to everything your company does.

Prepare for the conversation.

Have a concise biography, accurate supporting material, and a realistic interview window ready. If the story involves someone else, obtain the appropriate permission before sharing their experience. If you are discussing a result, make sure you can substantiate it. A good angle opens the door. Being prepared helps you make the most of the opportunity.
