Radio Media Tours
Time, money and impact are the primary reasons to include a Radio Media Tour (RMT) by Tobin Communications as part of your overall media campaign. An RMT maximizes your spokesperson’s time through the scheduling of telephone interviews with radio news directors and talk show hosts. The typical RMT can be scheduled over a series of days, weeks and months. Your spokesperson should conduct the RMT in a quiet room and on a hard phone line.
Our Radio Media Tour service includes:
- Drafting a media advisory;
- Pitching news directors and talk show producers;
- Connecting your spokesperson via telephone to each radio interview;
- Producing digital files of the interviews and showcasing your RMT through an easy-to-navigate web page;
- Pulling soundbites from the RMT that can be distributed through your social media channels;
- Following up with news directors to determine usage of recorded interviews;
- Producing a summary report; and
- Preparing your spokesperson for their RMT through our complimentary Media Training service.
Writing & Storytelling
In today’s competitive, fast-moving digital media environment, creating unique and engaging content is a requirement, not an option. Our Writing & Storytelling services will help your organization cut through the noise by tapping into the brain and writing power of Debra Zimmerman Murphey, an award-winning journalist and communications expert.
Our suite of writing services includes:
- Analyzing and crafting campaign/project messaging;
- Writing email alerts, email newsletters, and email feature articles;
- Producing op-ed pieces;
- Developing marketing/content for social media, websites and blogs; and
- Overview and review of all content/writing-based endeavors.
Media Training
Nothing is more frustrating than a flat performance by a spokesperson during a Radio Media Tour or other media opportunity. Our answer? Prevent it from happening in the first place.
By utilizing Tobin Communications’ complimentary Media Training service prior to a Radio Media Tour, your spokesperson will shine by relying on the expertise of Maury Tobin, who will help hone your spokesperson’s interview skills.
Maury will coach your spokesperson to better hone his or her message, to be conversational (rather than overly rehearsed), to respond to timely issues or questions, to guide the interviews by being informative, to be direct, and to effectively engage the interviewers and audience.
Our Media Training service includes:
- Sending the client a list of potential questions that may be asked by radio journalists during the Radio Media Tour; and
- Conducting a 30- to 60-minute media training session via phone or Zoom with your spokesperson prior to the Radio Media Tour.
