• Give their readers something they’ll read
• Have better content than their competitors
• Look good
14. What media wants from you:
• To be the first to know when you have really big news
• In-depth industry analysis / opinion / how-to
• An additional narrative about a hot trend
• Unique insight that no one else has
18. Industry insight
• Exposing a secret within the industry that outsiders may not
know (ex. why you can’t do an ICO if you don’t have $1M to
spend)
• Teaching a skill/sharing knowledge that you know but
others find difficult (ex. how we arranged our US visas to
develop our startups)
• Expressing your expert opinion about a topic

• Try to get a media list from organizers

backstage access)
• Meet every single one of the journalists present
• Talk to them about ANYTHING EXCEPT YOUR WORK
• Followed them on all social media/podcasts, etc.
• Ask them if you can send them stories
63. Just remember your
questions:
• What is the data you’re collecting? (or byproduct)
• What do you know that others don’t?
• How does this relate to any current trend?
