I have exciting media contact updates for you, but before I even get there I want to tell you that there are media contacts, and then there are media contacts that lead to relationships, and press, and buzz. At Tin Shingle we give you the latter. We don't just hand you a list of names and emails, we package them in our own co-founder (moi) and PR team's insight into what they cover. For instance, do you know which specific producers at the Today Show cover Hoda & Kathie Lee Gifford's segments? We do! And not to toot our own horn but toot, toot! Several of Tin Shingle members have appeared on the program.
As often as we can we curate the lists for you based on our own research and ongoing relationships. We teach you how your TV press targets like to be reached out to, and even when to get in touch with them.
For instance: did you know that right now - in May - is not the time to be pitching shows like Dr. Oz and The View. Why, you ask? Because these shows actually go on summer hiatus during this time of year, and come back to work in mid-to late July. Is this still a good time to pitch yourself to potential Today Show segments? You betcha! They film all year long (though insider scoop alert: they often film the Friday segments for the 4th hour of the Today Show on Thursdays after the regular live Thursday show).
If you are a member of Tin Shingle, you can access these Media Contacts right now in your account center. If you are not a member, you can join right now and have instant access to our database. Further, to teach you what to do with these contacts, anyone can access all of the courses, loads of free articles and expert tips) published by Tin Shingle to teach business owners and their teams to give you the extra help, information and insight that you need to get your brand on TV.
When you click into our media lists, you'll not only find everything from morning shows to daytime talk shows, including:
- The Real
- The View
- Good Morning America
- Today Show
- Rachael Ray Show
- Good Day LA
- Good Day New York
- and others,
You can also get access to local television programming, which for many of you is THE place you should begin pitching yourself when dipping your toe into pitching TV media. If you don't see your own local morning TV shows or a specific segment in our database, members can email our membership coordinator directly, and our PR team will go on the hunt for the contacts for you.
What happens after you get the contacts? How can you ensure you're going to send a dynamite pitch that gets responses? We supply you with courses about how to pitch, who to pitch, and we answer your questions anytime you want to ask them in the private member Forum - our community will even workshop your pitch for you - in our private message boards.
There is no time better than now to get your business on air and there is no community better than Tin Shingle to help make those small screen dreams a big reality. We can't wait to be part of your success story, come on over!
