Would you like to get tens of thousands of dollars worth of free media exposure?  Would you like to become the recognized expert in your local metropolitan area that TV producers, radio hosts, and newspaper reporters interview on a regular basis?  How about getting prospects to seek you out rather than the other way around?  

The Local Media Blitz Package is a one-of-a-kind set of services and tools that positions you to become the leading college expert in your metropolitan region.  It includes a one-on-one media training session with Ben Kaplan, contact lists of key media personnel in your area interested in college-related topics, and proven templates that help you get booked and maximize your media exposure.

One unique aspect of this package is that Ben Kaplan is sharing contacts from his personal media Rolodex for the very first time.  Ben has appeared on more than 2,000 TV and radio shows and has been featured in thousands of local newspapers--including massive media exposure in all of the top 50 U.S. media markets (and most of the top 100 markets).

Ben has accomplished all of this without the help of outside publicists or PR firms.  In fact, a fundamental principle of Ben's approach is that you are your own best publicist--specifically because you are more invested in the results and know more about your subject than any publicist you could hire.  Furthermore, by pitching media on your own, you become the one who develops relationships with media contacts over the long-term--not your publicist.

Not only has Ben perfected the art of generating media coverage, but he's also a member of the media himself:  His popular "Scholars & Dollars" newspaper column was launched in The Oregonian (Portland's daily newspaper) in 2006.  In 2008, he launched a weekly radio feature on KMOX-AM, the #1 rated station in St. Louis.  Both are now syndicated nationally.  In this capacity, he has received hundreds of media pitches from a wide variety of experts--and carefully noted what techniques were most effective in capturing his interest and attention. 

Better yet, Ben has carefully tested over the years what works and what doesn't in each local region:  He's done the heavy lifting in gathering and updating his media contact lists so you don't have to.  You'll also have an immediate list of key contacts in your metro area to begin pitching right away.  This includes TV producers and on-air talent, radio producers and hosts, and newspaper editors and reporters.  Just grab the media pitch template and customize it with your own credentials, expertise, and information.

With media exposure like this you'll be able to quadruple the turnout of your prospect seminar, get invited by local schools for numerous speaking engagements, or even get your own blog on the website of the most prominent media outlet in the region (like one of Ben's consulting clients did).

Best of all, you'll be learning from someone who continues to garner amazing media coverage each and every day--and helps other large companies do it, too.  Ben has coordinated large-scale media campaigns for leading financial services companies such as Sallie Mae, Citibank, Discover Financial Services, and UPromise.

If you're not already on the speed dial of the leading media outlets in your region, this is an essential package that you simply can't afford not to get.
