- 13. So, how do you perfect your pitch? 1. Keep it brief and to the point
- 14. How not to do it... FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 28 January 2012 DOGSQUARE LAUNCHES AS A SUPERLATIVE SO-LO-MO (SOCIAL, LOCAL, MOBILE) SOLUTION DOGSQUARE (TM) from Cynerbliss Ltd (TM) is a genre-defining new app. It is truly the pinnacle of location-based, social activity sharing for the canine species. With this HTML5, Javascript and Ruby On Rails enhanced experience, your four-legged companion can experience the joy of location-sharing, thanks to patented Bla-Bla (TM) technology. CEO Michael X. Boringpitch (MBE, MSc) said: "With Dogsquare (TM), the dynasty of social media is superbly emphased using our patented Bla-Bla (TM) technology, created over a 6 year period on a Basingstoke industrial estate. I once nearly met Mark Zuckerberg in a Palo Alto coffee shop, but my friend Dan said he'd just left by the time I arrived." Cynerbliss Ltd (TM) is delighted to announced that DOGSQUARE (TM) is now available on popular app stores with immediate effect.
- 15. Annoying... Hi Martin, I hope your cold that you tweeted about a month ago has cleared up. I hate those things!!!! I wanted to see if you had some interest in my app, Dogsquare. TechCrunch, Mashable and The Huffington Post LOVED it and now I think it's time for you to see it. I know it's been covered elsewhere but a blog like The Next Read Write Web would work wonders for our branding and SEO. I'm willing to link back to you if you cover us. Thank you! Michael X.

- 16. Much better... Hi Martin, We're about to launch a startup I think you might be interested in. Dogsquare is essentially 'Foursquare for dogs' - but it's so much more than that too. I've attached more info, or you can check out the video and screenshots here: LINK. We're a new company and we're planning to launch on Tuesday at 9am PT. We'd love you to cover the app. Thanks, Michael.

- 19. So, how do you perfect your pitch? 1. Keep it brief and to the point 2. Don't pester us 3. Be careful with exclusives
- 20. Exclusives + Media outlets love exclusives! - Media outlets hate being second, you miss out on additional coverage.
- 21. Embargoes + Hopefully lots of simultaneous coverage = high impact - People break embargoes (for a number of reasons) - egos are bruised and your plans can be messed up.
- 22. Developing relationships ● Keep in touch about MAJOR updates ● At the same conference? Come and say hello.
- 23. PR? Are they any good? Are people calling you?
- 24. Beyond the startup press? People are people wherever they work. Think about audiences, not journalists.
