Pick up a phone and call.
“I have a marketing proposal I’d like to send — who is the best contact?”
Ask on social media. Look on LinkedIn.
GOOGLE. (News releases are great sources.)

“Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m interested in becoming the world’s most famous blogger, and so I’d like to
appear on your program. I’m smart, I’m funny and I think it would be a really cool
experience. I can’t come in the week of October 7 because I’ll be vacationing in
Jamaica but October 21st looks perfect. Does that work for you?”
Still Bad

| Making a Media Kit | Katy Widrick | @kwidrick |
“Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m a fan of your program and I think I could be a good addition to an upcoming
show. Are you interested in seeing my media kit and video reel? I’m not sure if
you have any upcoming episodes in which my expertise would be a good fit, but
I’d love to offer my skills and teach your audience about blogging.”

“Dear Mr. Smith,
Congratulations on your recent Emmy nomination. I worked in television news for
seven years and I know how difficult a job it can be. Please pass my best wishes to
your entire team.
!
Your producer Jen Jones is a friend of mine, and mentioned that you’re working
on an upcoming episode that will focus on the blogging boom. I have attached my
resume kit and a link to my video reel, and if you are looking for someone to
speak about this trend, I hope you’ll consider me. If not for this episode, please
keep me in mind for the future.”
