#SpkPgh: Quit Your Pitchin’!
KST Presents
6p :: Doors Open for Pre-event Networking at 5p
Kelly Strayhorn Theater
5941 Penn Ave :: Map
Presented by Fygment Productions
Before any brand or product becomes as a household name, it has to lift off from a cluttered landscape. The spark is often times a single pitch to a journalist and the rest can be history. Fygment Productions has put together a pitch panel of influential national and regional King and Queen makers, including:
- John Biggs, TechCrunch Editor
- Sally Wiggin, WTAE
- Diana Nelson Jones, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
- Kim Lyons, NextPittsburgh
Plus, at least three lucky founders will be invited to pitch their story to the esteemed panel. The panel will tackle the big questions, including:
- What facts and figures matter most to reporters in a great pitch
- How to properly pitch via email
- How to do a GREAT in-person media interview
There’ll also be ample time for Q&A and time to mingle to follow (maybe even more pitches!)
Fygment Productions thanks the Kelly Strayhorn Theater and the #SpkPgh series sponsors who make these events possible:
– Builder Code Works
– Elliott & Davis
– Epicast
– Innovation Works
