Pulling Punches: Why This PR Agency Email Flopped (And What You Should Do Instead) (LIVE Pitch Review)

What happens when a PR agency pitches the wrong way?

You get a Pulling Punches episode like this one.

In today’s spicy short-form episode, Katrina Owens does a LIVE pitch review of a real email she received from a publicist — and breaks down exactly why it’s a no from her (and would be a no from most media gatekeepers too).

If you’ve ever paid a PR agency or considered outsourcing your publicity, you need to hear this.

Inside the episode, you’ll learn:

• The biggest mistake publicists make when pitching (and how to fix it instantly)
• Why offering 4 vague speaking topics is killing your credibility
• The one thing that’s always missing from bad pitches — and how to use it to stand out
• Why DIY PR is often better (and cheaper) than hiring the “pros”

This isn’t a rant — it’s a reminder that public relations is relationship-building. And if your pitch reads like a mass email, you’re doing it wrong.

Whether you’re pitching podcasts, events, or press opportunities, this episode will sharpen your strategy and help you become the kind of guest hosts actually want.
