Open press opportunities and call for sponsors
And... TGIF!
What a week, amirite? It was Purim! It was St. Patrick’s Day! It was a treadmill of deadlines and scheduling and logistics! It’s been a lot, but it’s Friday at last — and we’ve just about made it.
Among my newly published highlights of the week is my complete travel guide to Palm Springs for Insider. Take a peek and conjure some of those sunny, springtime, poolside vibes we could all use more of right now.
Are you a writer hoping to reach my engaged list of publicists? Are you a publicist hoping to connect with brands? Are you a digital media type with a product or service for the industry? Maybe you’d like to sponsor this newsletter with a featured ad. If that sounds like you, reach out and let’s chat!
(Want to know how magical is the reach? When I posted about my carpet-cleaning woes, reps from both Bissell and Ruggable each reached out to me within hours. It’s a small, insular world with vast networking power!)
