If your company still relies on traditional media outreach as the cornerstone of its storytelling efforts, it’s past time to become your own media company. Create media objects (like the video I so easily embedded in this post) and deploy them through your own resources. Activate your fans to help tell the story. Make sure the story shows up in the curated content collections maintained by trusted guides. Hire journalists to write company-sponsored columns about the significance of your news. And these tactics just scratch the surface of a smart content marketing approach.
The days of relying solely on the press to be your story-telling surrogate are over.
