Janet Murray on Mastering PR and getting your Story into the Media - MPAF93

Good PR can be perfect for your business growth.

If you have a different story to tell journalists want to hear about it.

But there\'s more to success than just bunging out a press release.

In this episode, I talk to Janet Murray, a journalist who helps people master PR and the opportunities it brings.

Listen to Janet\'s tips on building relationships with journalists, how to pitch your story, and how to get it into the media.

That\'s all right here in episode 93 of the Marketing Protection and Finance Podcast.

Who is Janet Murray?

Janet has 15 years\' experience as a national journalist & editor working on The Guardian, The Times and The Huffington Post. She\'s also in business to teach people how to get high-profile press coverage.

She doesn\'t do PR for people, rather she prefers to\\xa0 teach\\xa0 her clients to do it themselves.

Janet believes this can be more effective than hiring a PR Agency for businesses of any size.

We\\u2019ll look at financial services products, interesting business models and campaigns with an emphasis on the following:
