Headlines animate the news. Since Oct. 7th, The New York Times, BBC News, and many others news outlets have pushed a Z10n!st narrative, justifying and sanitizing jen0sydal attacks on schools, hospitals, aid distribution centers, and "safe zones" in G@/za. They have failed to cover the mass@cre of more than 150 Pal/esti/nian journalists. Barely a mention! They have whitewashed the horrors of the I0F's forced displacement of 2 million people and obscured the ap@rtheid state's responsibility for manufacturing a famine. This video juxtaposes the brutality and indiscriminate violence of the I0F's jen0sydal assault on G@/za with TNYT's surrealist reporting... correcting just a few of the many consent-manufacturing headlines over the past 10 months. The truth is essential. The truth is life or death. Boycott, divest, and unsubscribe from the imperial tabloid of TNYT and others like it.

What are the biggest mistakes I see agencies make in their proposals? ❌ Ignoring the brief. If you’re not addressing the client’s challenges and needs, it signals a lack of attention to detail and understanding of their business. ❌ Overloading with info. You were invited for a reason— now isn’t the time to restate every fact and figure about your agency. Resist the urge to cram in every case study and idea. Clients are busy, and yours isn’t the only proposal they’re reading. Stick to the essentials. ❌ Failing to stand out. Why are you the ideal partner for this specific client and assignment? What sets you apart from everyone else they’re talking to? ❌ Not making it easily forwardable. Your proposal is likely going to get passed along to others in the client organization who haven’t been fully briefed. Summarize summarize summarize if you want the key points stick. ❌ Forgetting to ask for the business. Instead of a generic thank you, show them your team is passionate about their business and ready to hit the ground running. What do you think separates a good proposal from a great one?

I get why tech founders ask about “contacts” when vetting PR firms. Business is about the caliber of your network and quality of your connections. But earned media is about the caliber of your pitch-writing and the quality of your supporting subject matter experts and/or data.

The two most recent C-suite Blueprint posts focus on media interviews and public speaking opportunities (link in Comments).   📺 “Lights! Camera! Action!” begins, “The floor director points. The anchor begins reading her introduction from the TelePrompTer. Camera 2 is focused on you.   The anchor completes her brisk introduction and turns to you with that first question. Now comes your moment in the sun.   Live television interviews differ from…”   🗣 “Succinct Steps to Speechwriting Success” kicks off by saying, “Professional speechwriters are a specialized breed. They are charged with the great responsibility of crafting remarks primarily for senior executives. The challenges can be formidable.   Large organizations (and many political operations) employ speechwriters on staff. However, others lack…” #mediainterviews #publicspeaking
