Hi there, Im Henriette Weber a social marketing and branding professional having my own company called Toothless Tiger, working out of Copenhagen, Denmark. I am writing here to offer you some advice on “how to include mainstream media in your PR and marketing”.
I got to write this blogpost on the Going Solo blog because Stephanie and I had a conversation in the back of a car during the shift08 conference in Lisbon, Portugal. I told her about my strategy for mainstream and so far I am working my way around it, and so far it works.
Now:
Journalists wont be knockin on your door or ringing you. You need to contact them. nothing new here. There’s one keyword to a succesful mainstream media presence: proactivity.
I have defined it in three steps
1. You figure out who you are
Or let me rephrase that - you figure out who you are towards your peers - your community. Both Micro and Macro community (meaning people who knows you very well and people who knows you less well personal and workwise). What do they think about you - is your thought about yourself the same as other people think ? or are you way off ?. Conduct a research and figure out where you’re at, or who you are to others.
2. you become who you are
Either you change the perception that people have of you, or you change - so you are real close to be in sync with the thoughts about you from your peers.
3. you find out who you want to be
Make a strategy for how you want to be in the future.
4. you market who you are
you use the two above steps to market who you are - inside out. Both who you feel you are, but also other peoples perception of you.
You do it proactively. Say no to things and interviews that is not in sync with step 3.
write letters, columns and debates. proactively within your subject - that makes your person stand out more.
that’s my first advice here - enjoy

Going Solo doesn’t have any branding yet. This is a standard WordPress.com design, which is preventing this site from being all naked until the branding is ready (normally, I’m told, this should be the case in roughly two weeks).
Now, in the meantime, I would like to be able to provide the nice people helping promote Going Solo with a pretty banner or badge to use on their blogs as fast as possible. So, here’s the dilemma: do I get something “quick and dirty” done (there is also some printed material I want to order… yesterday — LIFT will be here soon, you see), and have the “visual identity” of Going Solo change at some point, or wait?
What do you think?
PS: any standard dimensions out there for sidebar banners/badges?
