Road Tours
From Miami to Los Angeles, New York to Dallas, Chicago to St. Louis, PTA has booked the top media in every major city. If you travel often, in the course of doing business, it costs you nothing to have PTA canvass the local media and do an outreach. You only pay for results — not our time.
For more information, please contact Brian Feinblum at 212-583-2718 or feinblumb@plannedtvarts.com.
- If you travel to a city and you'd like us to attempt publicity in that area, it costs you nothing for us to try. You only pay for the bookings you receive.
- PTA guarantees to book a minimum of three interviews (Any combination of: TV, Radio, and Print) in each city toured. If we book less than three, you only pay a portion of the city tour fee. If we fail to book you any media, you pay nothing. If PTA books more than three appearances in any one city... the fee will not increase.
- PTA has earned a reputation for arranging exceptional road tours. These regional media swings noticeably activate the grassroots and add value to one's business travel in all 50 states. PTA balances key TV and radio interviews with desk-side reporter briefings in markets you value most. These city tours increase the impact of issues locally and reach your target audiences. PTA approaches the most appropriate area news organizations and industry press in order to make the most of your time.
- There are often occasions when a client needs to be in a particular city to attend a meeting, give a speech or participate in some other event. In such a situation, we can arrange a Piggyback Tour - in essence piggybacking media interviews on top of the primary reason for being in the city. We would work with you to determine your availability in each city and the feasibility of our attempting to schedule media interviews.
- Our knowledge of local TV is unsurpassed due to our extensive road touring with authors and corporate spokespeople. In each market there are a variety of outlets for PTA clients, ranging from 6:00 - 7:00 AM news programs that lead into The Today Show or Good Morning America; local Fox morning shows that air from 7:00 - 9:00, midday and noon news programs, daytime talk programs; taped public affairs programs; and of course the evenings news programs. PTA's ability to get our clients on these powerful local venues is what makes a road tour worthwhile!
- PTA generally needs a minimum of 4-6 weeks advance notice of travel plans in order to generate the best possible bookings.
Media road tours of course also include print and radio interviews. A typical day in a major market will include several TV appearances, live interviews on a radio morning drive program followed by more extensive interviews on local talk radio, with one or two print interviews to round out the day. We coordinate everything: training, travel, escorts, updates, and the top television, radio and print.
