If you're anything like me, you're a member of many Facebook Groups these days. And if you aren't, you've definitely heard about them as Facebook advertised during this year's Super Bowl.

03/12/2020 by Deanna +

Back in January, I shared a quick post on LinkedIn that I pitched a story to a reporter in November 2018 and finally, in January 2020 (you read that right) the story went live on newsstands. Pitching media can be a very frustrating part of PR, but it's so worth it when it comes to fruition and turns out to be an amazing story.
