Leveraging Media Exposure for Business Growth

 

In a recent podcast episode, host Josh engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Mitch Carson, the founder and CEO of Get Interviewed Guaranteed. The discussion centers around the critical role of media exposure, particularly television appearances, in driving business growth for authors, speakers, and CEOs. This blog post delves into the key takeaways from the episode, offering actionable advice and thorough explanations to help you leverage media exposure effectively.

Mitch Carson, with extensive experience in media and public relations, emphasizes the importance of media exposure in today's competitive business landscape. He highlights that leveraging high-level media exposure, especially through network television, can significantly enhance visibility and credibility. For those based in Las Vegas, Mitch guarantees coverage on four networks within two days, along with appearances on his own NBC Las Vegas show. He explains that being featured in a respected market like Las Vegas can serve as a powerful credential when seeking media opportunities in larger markets, such as Orlando or New York.

The conversation also highlights the importance of building credibility through media exposure. Mitch shares a success story about a retired brigadier general who leveraged her media appearances to secure speaking engagements and business opportunities. He explains that media exposure creates a "snowball effect," where initial appearances lead to more opportunities, such as guest spots on high-profile podcasts and radio shows. Mitch emphasizes the need for a blended approach, utilizing both traditional and digital media to reach target audiences effectively, and encourages repurposing media content for social media platforms to enhance credibility and visibility.
