SMEs – how to pitch a story to the media
This is a good, practical guide for SMEs on how to pitch a story to a journalist.  Things to remember include: ask yourself if your story is newsworthy; develop a one sentence explanation of your story (I like her tip about phrasing this as if you were telling a friend); whether to pitch by phone or email (personally, I do email first, then phone and then usually have to send it again by email anyway!) – more tips here:

Marketing to Fitness Fanatics
I really like this series that Irish Marketing Journal (IMJ www.adworld.ie ) is running in association with Kantar/TGI where they give insights into which marketing techniques work best for different audience segments.  This week it’s fitness fanatics and apparently 79% of them are more likely than the average adult to purchase from companies that sponsor sports events or teams.  Outdoor advertising works particularly well for them – outdoor isn’t just those large posters u see as you drive home or ads on the Luas or DART, it also includes ads in pubs and clubs, interactive screens in shopping centres and much more.
