Get ready for some high energy as I chat with Media Maverick TeeJ Mercer as she shares how we can Pimp our PR. Getting MSN, CBS on our website is one thing but being put on national TV with that kind of coverage seems unattainable for most entrepreneurs. Why does it feel so out of reach? TeeJ bust myths about tv media attention! What do you need to even be considered for TV media – what groundwork or assets do you need? If there is one thing we can do RIGHT NOW to get media attention? What can this type of media do for your business (besides make you look like a celebrity)? What are the first steps one needs to take to get started to achieve this kind of media attention? Dream national but act local – what does that strategy mean? Is there a right or wrong way to pitch? Tee J’s street cred: As one of Hollywood’s most highly sought after TV editors, for two decades I influenced the lives of millions through storytelling. I spent time with ABC, NBC, MTV, OWN, WeTV, The Style Network, HGTV, The History Channel, Bravo and the Walt Disney Company – beginning with the entertainment magazine hit Extra, and including the long-running The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Jackson and Jessie T. Usher on the next Shaft movie. Despite no prior aspirations to be a writer, in 2012 I felt divinely inspired to write my first book.
