Below are just a few of the rave reviews over past “Meet The Media” events by Rebecca Antonelli
Media Testimonials (unsolicited)
“The media and the public want news. We want to meet you, learn about the products and services your company produces, and what new innovations you’re working on. Information is the essence of news and you are the essence of information.”
- David Crabtree, Anchor WRAL News
“Thanks for the tip. I like the story a lot, and in fact I just set it up to shoot next Thursday, to air Friday. Thanks. I really have gotten a lot of stories from the “Meet the Media”. I think I’m up to five – just from the last meeting.”
- Jennifer Baron, Reporter
“With all due respect, I wonder why you did not approach our station to participate in your Meet the Media forum. We are certainly a most active broadcast outlet for local business news…”
AND WE INVITED HIM –
His Reply: “Thanks for asking! We would be more than willing and honored to help you in any way we can. Just let me know what I can do to help!”
- Lowell Briggs, Reporter
“Rebecca: Definitely count me in for the Meet the Media event. I am constantly meeting with people who need editorial in the inflight magazine. I think it would be good for me to listen to the local pitches.”
- Melanie, Inflight Magazine
“Rebecca: Thanks very much for doing this. I am honored that you are interested in having me for your event. I also appreciate your guidance on what your audience wants to hear. I want to make it exactly what you want it to be!! Let me know.”
- Dave Mildenberg, editor, The Business Journal
“REBECCA: Woman, you are too much! What a pleasure. You can really energize a room. I’m so glad our paths crossed. It was my pleasure to participate in the seminar. I picked up a great story idea for my For The Children segment. Let’s continue to talk! Again, thank you.”
- Pam Saulsby, News Anchor/Reporter WRAL
Attendee Testimonials (unsolicited):
“Can you say “Thank You” too much? I don’t think so. Thanks for your help again. Yesterday, WTVD replayed the Big Shelf tape from last year. We already have a job from it. The story also got picked up by the Durham paper, which called to interview me. You are making a difference in people’s lives. That’s why we’re here.”
- Dickey Eason. Big Shelf
“Thanks for hosting this event. From this attendee’s perspective, it was a tremendous seminar. One reporter responded very well to our product, the InternetPBX. When told that the IPBX will read e-mail over the phone he said, “I like it! Find me someone who is using it locally and we’ll put them on the 6:00 news.”
“Just thought I would let you know that we were interviewed yesterday by CBS. The child support calculators were the top story on the 5:00 news yesterday. They have provided a link from their links page to our website. The hits on our site yesterday were almost twice as high as our highest day in recent history and the unique visitors were almost twice as high as well.”
- Lee Rosen, Attorney
“WOW…I knew you were wonderful…but, really, I had no idea of the response potential. Not only did we get “air-time” on TV, but also, through people e-mailing the story to friends and relatives, we had two out-of-town calls for business. Thank you for your expertise… KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!”
“I have two TV tapings scheduled, which are direct results of the one and only Meet The Media that I attended. And as of today, I just got a call from a local radio station who will be meeting me at my studio to learn more about my business and to do a brief interview – another win!
“CBS’s news crew stopped by our office today to interview me about Surfcontrol for a February special report on the 10 O’clock news! I know they are also covering HCT tonight on the 6 o’clock news. This is a direct response to meeting the reporter at the “Meet the Media” event sponsored by you.”
- Debra Jones, PR Specialist
“Thanks to Meet The Media, I have been picked up by the The Business Journal. They are featuring my business in next week’s edition. Yippee!! Thank you for sponsoring such a great event.”
