Dangers Of Working With A Pop Up Publicist

Wow, what’s that? What is a pop-up publicist?

It’s someone who was not a publicist yesterday but is today.

I am serious.

Listen to this story. Let’s call her Patti. So for many years Patti was a motivation coach. But she never seemed to have any clients.

And every several months she would announce the launch of yet another new branding of her motivation company. She spent more time launching the same business over and over again than she did landing new clients or any clients.

I would always smile when her stuff came into my email. And read her new launch material and think, I wonder who she is today?

OH NO. One day it wasn’t just a relaunch.

She was suddenly a publicist.

She bought a list.

Now this is where I have to say to authors that they need to be careful. There are very low barriers to entry in this job. Someone wishing they could be a publicist just buy a list and put up a sign and get some authors to fall for it.

But NO, getting booked on meaningful media outlets is a lot harder than it looks. Annie makes it look like it’s easy due to a highly developed skill set, but it is not easy.

If fact, the trend now is for major authors, experts and speakers to put Annie Jennings PR under contract for one year that is automatically renewable. Why? These clients have tried the other way, the pop-up way, and failed. Now, they don’t want to lose Annie. So they lock her in for years.  She offers a performance guarantee and pay for play publicity services.

Authors love Annie as their publicist.

Annie Jennings PR has a team of savvy publicity professional with ten to fifteen to twenty years of experience. Our firm has seen the PR industry grow and created many of the strategies in play today. We know people and people know us.

Visit the AnnieJenningsPR.com site and check out all the real success stories from Annie’s clients.

So, if two publicists are pitching a client to the media with one being Annie Jennings PR who the media has known and worked with for over 20 years and the other is a pop-up they have never heard of, who will they work with? Even if the experts are similar? Annie consistency places authors and experts in the highest levels of media that others only dream of someday being able to book or if they are an author or expert, be on.  But yet, Annie books these outlets all the time.

How?

Competency. Respect. Brand.

That’s what the media wants and that’s what they get with Annie Jennings PR.

You should be a client.

Why Print Publicity?

Longest Standing Relationship with Marketplace

Over the years many well known print and online media outlets have built up tremendous power and influence. For authors and experts, having their name appear in one of the top newspapers or highly circulated magazines associates them with strong, powerful and well branded media names that have an impact and mega reputation in our society and are influential in your new client attraction strategy.

Print media of this nature supports your credibility, adds power to your media bio and platform and earns you the position as a national expert and thought leader in your field (stuff money cannot buy). The thinking is, that if a major respected media outlet has chosen you to offer insight and expert commentary then the inferred message is that you are tops in your field.

Many people think that if you write a book, you just won the lottery. What they don’t realize is that the odds of winning the lottery are about the same as making it as a published author. After more than 300 rejections, I believed so strongly in my first book that I invested my own money and published “The Bliss List.” Then, I did the smartest thing I’ve ever done—hired Annie Jennings PR! The results were astounding, establishing me as a Career Expert with interviews on National TV (FOX News), Radio and Print (The L.A. Times, CNN.com, Fortune, FoxBusiness.com). The platform Annie’s team of professionals developed for me has opened new doors, leading to hundreds of thousands of dollars in new business. With an established platform, “The Bliss List” was purchased by a major publisher and instead of one occupation, I currently have four dream jobs. I’d say the return on investment was spectacular.

Working with Annie Jennings PR literally changed the course of my career. After not having much success on my own, I am now the GO TO expert for CNN, FOX News, FOX Business, CNBC and many other networks.

Media must connect with knowledge at a lightening pace in order to be relevant. Annie Jennings PR is able to quickly match the needs of the media with the right expert at the right moment and produce explosive results. Yesterday afternoon, she had an AP journalist who needed a specific expertise. Within 20 minutes, I was on the phone with the journalist. By that evening, there was an article in the International Herald Tribune. By the following day, the article appeared in FORBES, USA Today, News Day, Baltimore Sun, Business Week, Chicago Tribune, Public Radio, Yahoo News, MSNBC NEWS! AJPR delivers – in a huge way!

What a pleasure it is to work with you and the Annie Jennings PR firm. Every connection with radio, television or journalists is both specific and effective. Their firm takes all of the time and worry out of doing an interview and your choices of media hosts are excellent. As an ophthalmologist I could never have made these quality connections and had the opportunity to share my expertise with a larger audience.

Rob Abel Jr, M.D., ophthalmologist, author and educator

In 5 minutes, Annie outlined a spot-on PR campaign for my book with an out-of-the-box idea I would never have thought of in a million years — and keep in mind that I am the author of Public Relations for Dummies!
