10 Tips for the Best Media Interview

When our business first moved to Maine three years ago, nobody knew anything about our business. We knew that we wanted to work with a number of institutions and organizations. But, we first needed to demonstrate our legitimacy. Our team developed a strategy to be everywhere (talking about who we are and what we do) as quickly and cheaply as possible. Our team focused on turning small wins into media, newspaper, and TV interviews. I was initially unsure about how to prepare for a TV or media interview. These tips helped me a lot.

With a lot of luck (and excellent partners throughout Maine), we did find success by working with Elaine from Pen Name. Pen Name is a Maine-based PR and grant-writing small business. Thanks to Elaine, our business and the businesses we work with were and are consistently sharing accomplishments in the news.

It’s natural to be nervous before your first TV interview (or maybe your first handful). Preparation will drive your success. I was anxious when I first began to do TV and newspaper interviews. But, a number of helpful tips helped me to grow my confidence on screen.
