What is the best way to leverage ABC, CBS, or NBC?

[hawkvt1]

My client has been interviewed by one of the top 3 networks and the interview will appear on the evening news.

My immediate task list:

1. Social media including YouTube
2. have the interview on the home page
3. construct a Press Release
4. try to gain a link from the network using a personal contact
5. link build using the interview (good opportunity for higher authority sites)

If you were in my shoes, how would you best leverage this unique opportunity?

Thanks Mozzers!

You have a decent list to start with and here are a couple of suggestions: If the client is national, all the networks have a website. Contact the interviewer and see if they can bet you a link there as you have stated and if local business or one with locations in varying venues, contact the affiliate stations seeking info for linking to them and,,,,,making sure they have yours as well.

If you have a customer list, now is a great time to get the link out via an email that comes back to your YouTube feed on the site.

Do you blog? Does the client blog? Get it out there.

If it is in professional services, offer it to varying sites within the discipline: for example physicians and the interview is about a new treatment modality - American Cancer Society, etc. AMA organ, Journal of Pulmonary Medicine, etc.

Hope this helps.

This coverage could bring a lot of visitors to client's website. I would encourage client to have lots of additional information there that is easy to understand, easy to print and very easy to share via social media.
