When pitching for earned media content how many follow ups do you tend to send? I always send one but never know if two would be helpful or start to become annoying for the the reporter/news desk.

I think two is my usual max, the second one I usually send if I have updates (new visuals, assets) that I didn’t share in my initial pitch.

for broadcast news desks, I send follow ups and then call them to confirm! They’ll be able to give you a better answer over the phone

Depends: if it’s a more general pitch, I’ll follow up 2-3 times. If it is a pitch that I know is completely relevant and in the reporter’s wheelhouse-I’m following up like 4 times and leveraging other channels like Twitter or phone.

Net/net-if it’s a story I know they will want, I’ll follow up until I get a response. Anything else, pitching a few time.

It depends on the pitch if you think it’s something that really fits their audience follow-up a few times including phone or their social if they use it for work.
