Friends, I need your help with two things.
First, as you’ve probably noticed 🙂 I’ve been doing some analysis here of PR pitches received by bloggers. I’d like to continue this as a regular feature, with at least one good and one bad pitch per week. But I need your help. Between what I get myself and blogger friends, I have a pretty steady supply of pitches aimed at marketers and moms. I’d like to broaden the coverage to other topic areas, especially pitches aimed at environmental, political, tech, entertainment and health bloggers.
On the bad pitches, I black out all product, agency and blogger names. This exercise isn’t about shame or blame, it’s about learning. On the good pitches, I do share the company and agency names and with permission, the blogger’s. Always nice to give credit when it is due.
Second item. We need database programmers and web developers for a few pending projects. Preferably based in eastern Massachusetts. Contract work. Some of the work could be done by entry-level programmers, some of it does require more experience, preferably with a variety of platforms and toolsets. My business partner in these projects manages the technical end and can tell interested parties much more about the requirements and volume of work. I’m just checking with my network for leads. Sound like you or someone you know? Please get in touch.
Email pitches and leads to me at sgetgood@getgood.com
Thanks!
