GET YOU IN THE NEWS!

 

In today’s media environment, getting visibility in the press or other media can be frustrating. A limited number of outlets cover Central Florida’s technology industry and even fewer cover early-stage businesses.  But you can have that visibility with the right story pitched to the right source in the right way!

 

We want you to understand what the UCF Business Incubation Program (UCF BIP) can and will do to try and secure media placement for client news, even if it is just on our website and newsletters. It’s also important to understand why we may not do a media push a specific way but will recommend and execute a different path.   We have long-standing, successful relationships with local media outlets BECAUSE we have established a high level of credibility by bringing them the types of stories they are looking for and not bombarding them with those they are not. 

 

We are offering two opportunities to join us and our media relations firm - Alan Byrd & Associates - to discuss the following and more:

 

  • What is news?
  • What is not news?
  • How long will it take for a story to run?
  • How does the UCFBIP pitch stories to reporters?
  • Can you write your own press release and pitch directly to the media?
  • What can I expect from buying an advertisement?
  • How do I get media coverage for an event?
  • How should I prepare if I get a request for an interview?
  • What media outlets does the Incubation Program service have relationships with? 
  • What is the process for using the Incubation Program's media relationship service?
  • What are some examples of clients successfully getting media coverage and why were they successful?

 

Register today!  

Check out recent client news on our website at https://incubator.ucf.edu/client-news as great examples of clients in the media and on our website.

 

Providing expert support for media relations is just one of the many ways we support you in your growth and journey to success.   Talk to your Site Manager about the many programs and services we offer you.

 

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT READ THIS FAR...YOU GET A BONUS REMINDER ABOUT THE 2024 HARVEST HUDDLE!
