The Today Show is PR opportunity every CEO and business owner asks for. Nearly every potential client says they want to be on the Today Show or Good Morning America when asked who is their ideal audience.
It’s not easy securing a placement with these morning show. The available segments are limited between hard news and commercials.
But MACIAS PR did it this week for our health tech client on The Today Show. We also secured a different segment for this client with NBC News.
So how did we do it? We leveraged a timely component with water cooler material.
The Consumer Electronics Show, also known as CES, is the world’s largest consumer tech trade show. Tech entrepreneurs and startups come from all over the world to showcase their tech products to the world – and more important, the media. It’s not easy standing out at CES without the help from the media
Before CES took place, MACIAS PR reached out to hundreds of targeted reporters, producers and writers, telling how the world’s first smart belt was going to be unveiled at CES.
But we didn’t create an advertisement. We took time to tell the client’s story. In addition to those two TV segments with NBC News, our approach led to influential placements with Wired Magazine, USA Today, AdWeek and others.
