Do they have an interesting POV or some contrarian view of the industry they operate in? What about writing a 500-word op-Ed and getting some thought leadership in front of the reporters? Check out the trade pub’s editorial calendars and see where you can plug them in for commentary.

Came here to say thought leadership or a contrarian POV.

just went through this! what does your client work in? we work in an area that’s adjacent to current news topics, so we tried to incorporate them as much as possible. offered a lot of background conversations for relationship building and emphasized the importance of them to the clients.
