How does one attain media attention

Freakazoid · 07-13-2011, 04:25 PM

For example, the auction site for the $5.28 camaro

Obviously this started somewhere. How does one do this? Call news stations? Email? A particular department or contact?

Attempt to blow up embassies and malls, stalk celebrities and post it on YouTube. Also, collaborate with Rebecca Black.

Acquire a Chevrolet Caprice and Bushmaster rifle, drill a hole in the trunk, and do your thing.

EDIT: For some reason my browser didn't show half the thread when I opened it, so I didn't see most of the responses. And here I was thinking I was being witty

Newswire-> press ->media->marketing-> advertising

when things like that break it is mainly someone in house blabs to someone who works at an endemic trade pub

Ie when we release big media/advertising and PR pushes my buddy at ad age or adweek just happens to take me for drinks ...and it gets "discussed"
