KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Originally having a successful background in Television, Fiona has a wealth of experience in TV that she then translates into Podcasting.
- After having a child, Fiona no longer wanted to go back to the TV industry, this is when she made the switch to podcasting.
- There isn’t really PR for podcasting and when Fiona released this she decided to double down on this as her niche.
- Podcast PR through traditional media is about defining your brand and bringing accreditation to your Podcast in ways you can’t do via social media.
- If just starting, the minimum PR to do is to have a standard press release, many templates are easy to find online.
- When communicating with a journalist, try and make it as personal as you can and make it clear you have done your research. Ensure you include assets for them to look at straight away.
- The biggest mistake people make with PR is that they think it’s not for them. It can take time to see results but this doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing. PR is for anyone.
- Think about what it is you want to achieve with your PR and your Podcast and build your plan and goals around that before starting.
