PR pitch
Hand local press the hometown story they’re hunting for
Pitch your story to local newspapers, radio, and city blogs with an explicitly local hook: the neighborhood connection, hiring, a milestone, a first for the area. Local outlets must fill a business section weekly and say yes at rates national press never will — delivering trusted coverage, links, and customers nearby.
