Hailey engaged with PR experts and travel writers, gaining invaluable insights and practical tips. Here are a few noteworthy points Hailey jotted down during the conference that she would like to share.

    • Keep breakfast and lunch quick (most are happy to take along a sandwich during their venture outdoors)
    • Include downtime
    • Host a meal or time to meet with journalists
    • Stay in touch with journalists after they visit
  • Media Pitching: 
    • Keep media pitches descriptive, yet short and to the point
    • Include an intro that reels the reader in, almost like a story
