In my last post , I shared three ways to bungle your product launch and touched briefly on preparing your executives for media interviews.

Then, make sure that everyone, both those in the spotlight and behind the scenes, have received proper media training and know exactly what to do. For example, the way you communicate with the media may (and should!) be very different from the tone of voice you use to address the families of your employees.

Think about the positive stories, the great things you do in the community, the great things you do for your employees, and stories that you can tell that add value to a journalist, to a media outlet’s audience.
