BTI # 437: Why People Got Booked at FITposium

Why People Got Booked at FITposium Hosted by: James Patrick   We are just days post the final FITposium and we had 245 media bookings cast at FITposium this year. That is double the record we set last year, which was 120. There were so many things that we noticed as the hosts of this event, as well as casting partners in this event, that helped applications stand out. As well as things that we saw that made it difficult to select someone.   Today, we are doing a round table discussion. In this conversation we have Christina Patrick, Lori Young, Chelsey Clark, and Cassie Douglas.   Christina is the creative director of ICONFIT Magazine and Ricochet Magazine. Lori Young is our marketing specialist. Chelsey Clark is our director of education. Cassie is the editor in chief of ICONFIT Magazine and ICON REFINED. "If they didn't have that story that pulled at the heart strings or they didn't give very specific topics of what they could talk about, we overlooked them." IN THIS EPISODE Applications from FITposium and what made some stand and some flop. The importance of unique pitches and sharing your unique qualifications. Why putting in the effort matters. Being specific with your title but also grabbing attention right away. Building relationships with media outlets. Why your audience matters. Offering value to the media outlets. Standing out as a model.
