Jayne Atkinson believes she has this kind of magic superpower of getting what she wants if she puts her attention to it, and she's got a long list of credits to prove just that. She looks back on her childhood and having an English sensibility (and sense of humor) even though she grew up in America. She credits her high school drama teacher as the one who gave her the foundation of her work, and thinks fellow classmate Michael Greif is her “theatre angel”. Jayne talks about her latest play, "Still," which she stars in alongside her old friend Tim Daly. She shares the story of what made her say yes to the play after receiving the script from Will Rucker, and the show's themes of love, connection, and the importance of listening to each other. Jayne gets real as she reflects on the impact of technology on human connection, why she thinks “the SAG strike didn't hit some of the issues it needed to hit”, and the significance of live theater, especially today. With a successful acting career and so many credits under her name, she shares her personal motivations, advising aspirants to prioritize self-care and enjoyment in auditions. Jayne Atkinson is a British American actress who's graced everything from Broadway's grand stages to popular television shows. You might recognize her from her Emmy-nominated role as Karen Hayes on “24” or her powerful performances in “House of Cards” and “Criminal Minds”. Her accolades extend far beyond the screen, including Tony Award nominations for her captivating theater work in the 2000 production of “The Rainmaker” and the 2003 production of “Enchanted April”. Her other TV and film credits include “Parenthood”, “A Year in the Life”, “Gossip Girl”, “Madam Secretary”, and “Death and Other Details”. Jayne is also a three-time Drama Desk Award nominee. She was last seen on stage starring alongside Angela Lansbury in “Blithe Spirit”, and can now be seen in the off-Broadway production of “Still” at the DR2 Theater.

In this episode of the Bombshell Business Podcast Amber Hurdle builds on the PREVIOUS EPISODE’S foundational media plan elements, and gets into how to interact with the media, as well as exactly how to make it easy to cover your business.   Make it Easy to Cover You in the Media   Synthesize your key talking points. (Yes, say them over and over and over again, no matter how many interviews you’ve been on. Only you have heard it that many times, the various audiences have not.)   Create a Media Kit   Before sending your kits out, consider that different outlets will require different angles, so while your kit may be mostly the same, your pitch should be unique.   Create different versions of your media kit including: -A digital PDF that you can email or link to. (Be sure to reduce the file size so it can be reasonably attached to an email. Or link to a Dropbox, Box, or Drive folder that has the correct share settings to grant access to it. -A printed version that can be snail mailed or handed to someone. -A web page version. You can see mine here: amberhurdle.com/media   Media Kit Checklist   Include the following elements in your media kit:   -Product description -Brief bio of you or any key members of your team involved in the story -Press release -Product specs -Sample interview questions (and answers if you want to go that far) -Contact information -Credibility page featuring testimonials, previous media appearances, notable companies you’ve worked with, awards or accomplishments, etc...   How to Make Your Media Kit   You can make a simple media kit in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, or you can make a fancier or more graphically enhances media kit in a free do it yourself design application like Canva or PicMonkey or in Adobe Photoshop if you have those skills. OR if you don’t want to be responsible for it at all, you can search “media kit” in Fiverr and find a super affordable, fast and professional looking solution there.   Recruit a Launch Team   The media probably won’t pay attention to your business, product or service launch if no one else is. That’s why it’s helpful to make your own ruckus by recruiting the help of customers, audience members, friends and family.   Pick one reliable person to handle different aspects of your promotions, then give them very specific to-dos, and let them rally the troops. For example, they can: -Help plan or execute a launch party, or get people there -Share promotional posts on social media -Get/share early access and leave reviews online once your business, product or service actually launches -Participate in/organize a Thunderclap Be sure to tune in to part 3 of this three-part series on how to promote your business to the media!

In this episode Amber Hurdle discusses the foundational elements a female entrepreneur needs to know to promote her business to the media. In part one of this three-part series, she outlines exactly what you need to do before ever pitching your product or service to various media outlets.   Know Your Reader: This is foundational. You should know what to say to solve their problems and what motivates them, as well as which outlets they watch, listen to and read. If you can’t tell a media outlet what showcasing what you do or sell will do for their audience THEY WON’T feature you!   Grow Your Squad as Early as Possible   Create Content   Create content to show your expertise and establish authority, as well as show your personality and build trust. You can also test content. Building your OWN content will create a home base (also known as your website) and give you a solid idea of what people respond to. Consider it a smaller test group to prepare you for larger, broader audiences (that you will encounter in new markets via media opportunities) with whom you are not familiar. Not sure how to start your website? Checkout Episode 16 with Anthony Tran here: https://amberhurdle.com/website-design-anthony-tran/   Leverage Social Media   Growing your social media audience and engagement will show media outlets that people already find you interesting, thus increasing your chances of getting picked up for a story.   To learn more specific strategies for social media, be sure to listen to episodes 26: Social Media Strategies and ROI with Brian Boyd and 33: How Social Media Can Drive your Business with Laura Roeder.   Via social media you can share your content, drive traffic back to your website, build your email list, ask questions, show behind the scenes of our company (everyone is at least a little nosey or at least curious) and test content and topics. Be sure to interact with your audience there, not just create posts for the sake of it. As Laura Roeder encourages in episode 33, it is wise to schedule your posts so you can use your social media time actually interacting with your followers.   Just remember that social media is rented property. You do not own your content, nor your audience information, so be sure to direct people back to your website. By directing back to your website you can then grow your email list and talk to your squad right in their inbox. Social media is best used to promote you just like you’d want traditional media to promote you. You don’t get to keep the names and access of the people who watch you on a morning show, and you don’t get to “keep” your Facebook followers, either!   Set Promotion Goals   When investing your time, energy, money or other resources you want to be sure you know why you’re doing it...and if you’re in business...hint: it should turn green in the end. If you are just stroking your ego, your business will not prosper from it. Sample goals include:   -Building a media foundation for future promotions -Selling your product or service -Gaining credibility or authority to build your brand recognition (and then ultimately your sales)   Then, you have to decide what success looks like to you. How will you know you’re successful? Television coverage? A local newspaper article? Blogs galore? Podcast coverage? Spell it out so you know what you are working towards and whether or not your efforts are effective. And name that end game, too! How will it eventually turn green? You should be able to fill in these blanks: I want to ________ so that I can _______.   Set Media Wish List   Be realistic about who will have interest in your business, but be brave and stretch yourself. Go where your audience is! Ideas include:   -Local/regional newspapers -Magazines (local, regional and national) -Television (local, regional and national) -Radio (local, regional and national or syndicated) -New Media like You Tube, blogs, podcasts   Make friends with producers and reporters on social media. Share their content. Respond to HARO (https://www.helpareporter.com/) inquiries and be helpful. Show interest in their current pieces before you expect them to cover your business.   Determine Your Media Coverage Timing   Back into your launch date, then determine when you need to pitch longer lead outlets (like magazines), shorter lead outlets (like television or podcasts) or in the moment opportunities (like news-relevant coverage or with bloggers who may not have a content calendar planned well in advance).   With these foundational elements figured out, you can take the next step in executing an awesome media plan! Of course, be sure to tune into the next episode to find out exactly what to do next.   In the meantime, check out my media page (amberhurdle.com/media) to get an idea of the various ways you can be covered.   Also, be sure to come see me at my next author event at Parnassus Books in Nashville!

Lisa Sanders and Karen "Brown Sugar" HayesI fell under the spell of these two beautiful women and their amazing performance one afternoon a few months ago, and here are the fruits of our labors. Enjoy.They are a pair of electrifying, bodacious, harmonizing singers of genuine heartfelt songs. This country-bluesy duo have been performing there unique style of music for over ten years to enthusiastic fans across America. Lisa and Karen's friendship began long ago when they met briefly at a high school party.

Neither one of them realized that one day they would be a couple of moms writing and performing music all across the country. Karen has been singing since high school. When Lisa noticed that Karen knew all of her songs and had an amazing sense of harmony, Lisa asked Karen to join her band. They have since become a musical powerhouse. With harmonizing skills that have garnered the duo many accolades and opening spots with artist such as Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, BB King, Al Green and many more.  Lisa Sanders and Brown Sugar are set to tour in support of their 8th CD release Shiver, nominated for San Diego Music Awards Best Pop Album.
