I have put together my list of HOT Media topics for August!
If you can talk about any of these events listed below, please send your media release to media. (And to me…I’m always looking for great guests with topical ideas. J)
PLEASE NOTE This is not a complete list of every event going on. I only share ones I think most mainstream media would love to share with their audience.
These would work best on Adult Contemporary radio shows and morning TV programs. I bet if you fit any of these perfectly, you could even get a segment on TV news! They always need lifestyle topics!
1. Boomers Making a Difference Month
Talk Radio targets baby boomers. If you are an expert working with baby boomers – you could do a topic on how to never be bored. I hear many boomers who retire find themselves busier than ever! Sadly, many boomers also get left feeling unwanted…I think that’s the angle…how to get involved etc.
2. Children's Eye Health & Safety Month
Perfect topic for eye doctors and vision companies. In fact, you could even give away a free eye exam or maybe some glasses after the interview.
3. Get Ready for Kindergarten Month
Great for early educators – the topic could be for the children or it could be for the moms. Have fun with it. It’s amazing how many moms are not ready for their babies to head off to kindergarten.
4. Happiness Happens Month
Great topic for all my Happiness Experts! The topic might be – how do we get happy when there seems to be so many things keeping us miserable?
5. National Traffic Awareness Month
Safety is always a hot topic…especially if you talk about chasing Pokemon! It’s the HOTTEST game and people are either out driving around while holding their phones…or they are walking around and not watching for traffic.
HERE'S A FEW WEEKLY EVENTS AS WELL THAT WILL NEED GUESTS:
Simplify Your Life Week: 1-7 & Rock for Life Week: 4-7 Perfect for Motivational Speakers.
National Scrabble Week: 6-10 Great for family therapists…why playing games around the kitchen table matters.
Exercise With Your Child Week: 7-13 Perfect for health experts.
National Fraud Awareness Week: 7-13 – How to keep safe online, phone scams, etc.
National Motorcycle Week: 14-20 Tragically, we had a 27-year-old girl killed here last week on her way to work. PLEASE keep an eye open for motorcyclists!
National Resurrect Romance Week:14-20 Perfect for relationship experts!
If any of these topics are perfect for you to speak about and you need some help creating your media release to pitch your local media – contact me at: wayne@Onairpublicity.com
Thanks.
I hope I'll see you soon, On The Radio!
