Whenever you go out and get earned media, you're going to get people's attention in an authentic way unlike the banner ads and pay-per-click ads that are constantly distracting us and disrupting our day around us. We go right to the content.   Welcome to The New Leader Podcast! Today on the show we will be talking about the importance of great PR as leaders with one of the world's top experts in earned media and PR, Adrian Salamunovic. Adrian is the co-founder of CanvasPop and DNA11, as well as the co-author of FREE PR: How to Get Chased by the Press Without Hiring a PR Firm. In this episode we talk about his book, his two tips on how to fast-track your career and personal growth, owned, paid and earned media, hiring a coach versus finding a mentor, empathy and authenticity. I hope you enjoy this episode, and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on iTunes!   Self-awareness I think being self-aware and knowing where your strengths are and where your strengths aren't is probably the biggest barrier for any manager or entrepreneur. In my case, I made the decision early on to bring in a business partner on my last couple of ventures. He had a background, or at least a desire to be a leader as far as managing people. Then we hired a CLO, and then we hired a CFO and so on and so forth. I think being a great leader is knowing where your strengths and weaknesses are, and then finding people to fill in those weaknesses. The Benefits of Earned Media We're in an attention economy, there's no doubt about it. Attention is worth more than it ever has been, and the reason is, there's more noise than ever before. There's information coming at us in every direction. Knowing how to work with earned media gives you a superpower, which allows you to cut through that noise in an authentic way like we're doing right now. You and I are having a conversation, and people who are listening to this podcast have chosen to listen to this podcast. We're not actually having this conversation between you and I; we're having a conversation between us and a few thousand other people. That's powerful. And it's not advertising. Finding a mentor There's two ways to do it. The first one is really fascinating, and a bit of a plug for Clarity.fm. I'm not only a huge user, but I've used the platform to find people whenever I need just a few minutes or half an hour of advice or coaching. No matter what you're looking for, you can find it there. I happen to be one of the top-rated people on that platform today. It has about 75,000 members. You can just go in, and if you need help with SEO, there's an expert for that. If you need HR advice, there's an expert for that. If you need PR advice, there's me. The second way is using LinkedIn. It is a little bit more difficult because whenever you're cold-pitching people, “Will you be my mentor?” That's not going to work. Usually, I will reach out on LinkedIn, establish a relationship with a person, and bring value to them first – whether it's by sharing information I think they should know about, or buying their product and becoming a customer. Instead of asking, giving. It's hard to say no to a LinkedIn request if someone's your client or they're using your product, for example. It's hard to say no to somebody if they're a fan – they really love what you're doing, or if they're referring people to you. And then later you can put them on your podcast, and then they get to know you, and then you an approach them later on. Build value first. LinkedIn and Clarity are the two fastest ways where you can find the right mentor.

Adrian talked us through the importance of putting ourselves out there in front of the media and get their attention even without hiring a PR expert.   Adrian drops PR and business tips, best practices and value bombs that we should really look into. Plus, he’s giving us free PR media kit and templates to help us write PR like a pro.   Be sure to tune in and I can’t wait to hear all your feedback! “You don’t need to hire a PR firm in order to leverage the thousands of media out there that are looking you and your story” How is it so hard to get featured in the media?   “It is not difficult at all but you have to know how to do it.”   The secret is understanding how journalist and influencers see the world. Adrian also added that you have to know and understand your target market is. Understand where they consume information specifically which channels, websites, platforms or publications they to for information. How did the Free PR book come about?   The book was co-authored by another Canadian author, Cameron Herold and was also the CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK. The book was originally written by Cameron many years ago and asked Adrian to give his point of view on the book.   What is the media looking for? What are the hot topics that we should consider targeting?   Adrian considered the media as a very very hungry machine where everyday, there are literally thousands of articles being published and the media need fresh stories and contents. Those stories and contents have to come from somewhere, so why not YOU.   When you approach a media, you are giving them a favor. You are giving them a story, an idea or a pitch or an angle that could be interesting to their viewers. One important thing that you need to understand before you approach the media is that they need you. That is why you need to understand what’s hot, what their audience care about. Free PR: How to Get Top Media Hits for your Startup - DIY - how did the book idea come about?   The point of the book is to help companies especially startups how to take control of the company PR, do it themselves and save money. This is because most companies especially startups hire PR agencies to do the PR for them. While there is nothing wrong about that, most companies are unsatisfied because results are under delivered.     Another tip that we should remember when doing your own PR or if you consider hiring one is to hire a salesperson. The idea behind this is that you need to have people who pitch your company every single day because in realty, the person you need is a hustler. Someone who embraces being told “NO” and goes after the hit anyways.   Also, when you hire person with PR experience, they are going to do their job the old way which is writing press releases, communication breach or doing light outreach but they are not going to hustle everyday trying to tell your story.   Here is a Free Press Release Template and Starter Kit to help you start write a power press release like a pro.   We should remember that when we do PR, we don't always control the outcome. When you are doing a great PR, you can get a 9 out of 10 outcome but what some journalist are doing, things can go wrong. Best Practices:   The foundation to a great PR is to have a market fit. He or she who gets the most attention will generally win. In a noisy world that we are in now, PR plays an important role in cutting the noise and getting your story out there and if done right, it could be for free.
