Pre-GTM / Strategy — Earned Channel Strategy

Credibility is earned by having something worth noticing.

Media visibility can add trust—especially for a new business—but visibility works best when it begins with a relevant story.

01 — The hindrance

Wanting coverage is not the same as being newsworthy.

A generic company announcement gives journalists and communities little reason to pay attention.

Businesses can overlook the interesting insights, projects, and processes already inside their work.

02 — The alternative

Identify the work that is timely, useful, surprising, or relevant to a specific audience.

Pursue media visibility where that story can add credibility and strengthen trust with your ICP.

The direction

Earned visibility rooted in substance rather than publicity for its own sake.

Pressure-test the fit
