Help The Reporters: A survey conducted by ISEBOX.com indicates that 68% of reporters are more unhappy and overworked now than they were five years ago. If communicators wish to increase their chances of getting the busy journalists to write about their companies, then their jobs are to make their stories easy for the media to retell. The eBook also features advice from experienced media professionals on some of the do's and don'ts when engaging the media.

Have a Distribution Strategy in Mind: Creating content can be time consuming. Without a content amplification strategy in place, communicators are doubling down on the time-wasting. According to a joint analysis done by BuzzSumo and Moz, the majority of content is simply ignored and receives very few shares and links. Today, content distribution is a must-have strategy if communicators want their content to be found and to bring value to the brand. This eBook walks readers through ways to use paid distribution channels for greater reach and to archive a variety of content goals.
