Ep. 77 – What To Do When a Journalist Ghosts You

Episode Summary

In this week’s Public Relations Declassified livestream, we will explain exactly what to do when a journalist ghosts you after a pitch.

Key Takeaways:

• Most people make the same mistake when a journalist doesn’t respond
• Handling no response the wrong way can damage your ability to get featured in the future

Outline:

• Don’t send another email
• Review their content since your pitch
• Engage everywhere
• Build more mutual connections and engage with them
• Look for opportunities to provide value

Jeremy’s PR PSA:

Not getting a response from a journalist isn’t a sign to send them more emails—it’s a sign to adjust your strategy and build a relationship.
