Tips for Hiring a Publicist for Virtual Reality

Do you have a good story? Publicity works if you have a good story. There are exceptions of course, but bear in mind that the fact that you’re releasing a new product or feature, isn’t in itself news unless you’re Apple. You have to stand out.

Do you have industry profile? If you are relatively well known in the industry this will impact how receptive the media will be. So, a good story, loyal fans, and a brilliant product will definitely increase your reach.

Do you have a loyal fan base? News need readers. If you can show that your fans, whether they are few hundreds or maybe millions, will click, read and share your story that gives a publicist power to pitch you.

10 Questions You Should Ask Before Hiring a Publicist

  1. How are you going to measure your success?
  2. Which media reach my target audience best?
  3. Have you worked on campaigns in my industry?
  4. Who will be working directly on my account?
  5. Am I locked into a long-term contract?
  6. How much do you charge for specific services?
  7. Do you provide media coaching?
  8. What is your social media expertise?
  9. How are you going to communicate with me?
  10. What will you need from me to make the relationship work?
