Don’t let your media coverage be a one-day win.
A solid media placement, whether it’s a quote, byline, or interview, builds instant credibility. But the smartest firms know it can also become a long-term asset. With a few intentional steps, that single story can power your brand for months.
Here are five beginner-friendly ways to turn media into an evergreen engine:
1. Add It to Sales and Onboarding Materials
Media coverage makes great social proof. Include it in prospect decks, email nurture sequences, and onboarding documents to show your expertise isn’t just claimed, it’s verified.
2. Turn It into Content
Repurpose the message into:
- A blog post that dives deeper into the topic
- A short podcast or video with your “behind the scenes” take
- A discussion point in your monthly client newsletter
- Team bios (with “Featured in [Outlet]” lines)
- Social media profiles
- Your website’s newsroom or media page
You already did the hard work. Now amplify it.
3. Update Your Digital Presence
Don’t forget to update:
- Team bios (with “Featured in [Outlet]” lines)
- Social media profiles
- Your website’s newsroom or media page
Even a subtle addition can strengthen your authority with new visitors.
4. Display It In Print The Right Way
Reprints can be great leave-behinds in meetings or office displays. Just remember: you need permission. Never screenshot or reproduce media without securing the correct rights.
5. Build Your Placement Reel
Once you’ve got multiple media hits, combine them into a highlight reel or rotating website banner. It’s an impressive way to show momentum and build trust.
Bonus Tip: Awards matter too. Industry recognition deserves the same treatment as media placements, and you can consider similar strategies to promote your award wins.
