Simple Definition of Publicity
- something that attracts the attention of the public
- attention that is given to someone or something by newspapers, magazines, television news programs, etc.
- the activity or business of getting people to give attention to someone or something
There are residual benefits to gaining publicity – the impact of unbiased media coverage may lead to improved member recruitment and retention. Who does not want that?
The right ingredients for successful publicity include:
- effective planning
- a truly newsworthy story or message
- provided in the right format
- pitched to the right media contact
Over the next few weeks this blog will cover planning, writing your story in the right format, online publicity ideas, and leveraging social media.
