How to get media coverage
Getting the media’s attention • Target the journalist, not the publication. Research
who writes about apps and who has written about apps similar to yours
• Get introduced by someone that knows the journalist
• Twitter can be a good place to engage journalists
• If a journalist doesn’t reply, don’t send them another 3 emails in a week. It can be frustrating but the journalist is probably busy and this is not a priority
• If you have a direct email for a writer or editor, also copy in the publications tips line e.g. [email protected]. If the journalist is busy then someone may be able to pick it up

What do I send them?
• Description, key features and USPs
• Explain what your app does and why it is different form the competition, but don’t oversell… “Revolutionary” is always bad
• YouTube video
• Great to see an app in motion, especially important for games or kids’ apps where the graphics are the thing that appeals/turns off
• Screenshots
• If your screenshots have layered text, also provide the raw screenshots
• Promo code (if paid app)

CHOOSE YOUR ASSETS WISELY
Are you a start up?
• Who are the founders and what is their background?
• What is your funding?
• How much traction do you have?
• Real numbers i.e. monthly/daily active users, not downloads or registered users
• What are the key differentiators between you and other players?
• Describe the genesis of your project?
• Describe the project in your own words?

PRE 19TH Sep – All activity in this range can be attributed to scans conducted by the team
PRE 24TH Sep – This period of activity is mainly as a result of the pre-launch student flyer which had over 120 pre-launch scans
25TH Sep – A large spike of activity was seen on the day when the posters and table talkers began to appear in restaurants
28TH Sep – A secondary spike was seen around the 28th possibly due to more stores displaying the in store collateral, the second student flyer being released or in response to increased momentum (e.g. media coverage)
