Guiding Principles
• You are unique, so act like it• Your value proposition should focus on the needs/wants/fears of
your target audience– Not on what you do well
• Headlines sell magazines– Your elevator pitch needs a headline
• Craft a targeting strategy• Define a media frequency strategy• Stay connected
– If they are not talking to you they are talking to someone else• If you don’t feel a little nervous and uncomfortable you are not
pushing the envelope
