Pitch a journalist
Trade and local journalists want someone who can explain why premiums are rising or what a flood, a ruling or a cyber attack means for cover, the same day.
The prompt
I work in marketing at an insurance broker. Help me pitch a story or comment to a journalist. Context: Trade and local journalists want someone who can explain why premiums are rising or what a flood, a ruling or a cyber attack means for cover, the same day. Before you start, ask me for anything missing from this list: - The story or the news we can comment on - Who would speak and why they are qualified - The publication Then: 1. Say why this matters to their readers now. 2. Offer a named person and when they are free. 3. Keep it under 120 words. Give me: - The pitch - Three comment lines the journalist could quote, marked for approval Rules: - Use only the facts I give you. Where something is missing, write [detail needed]. Never invent a number, a name, a quote or a source. - Give general information about insurance only. Never say that a particular person or business is covered, never suggest a claim will be paid, and never call a price the cheapest or the best. - Write in plain English, in our voice if I have given you a sample. - Do not tell me what the rules or regulations say. If something may be restricted, flag it and I will check. Finish with a list headed "Check before this goes out". Include these, plus anything else our compliance officer or whoever approves financial promotions should see: - That the commentator is free to speak on this subject - No comment on a named client, claim or insurer without consent - Market or price statements, with their source
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. It will ask you for what it needs.
Check before this goes out
- That the commentator is free to speak on this subject
- No comment on a named client, claim or insurer without consent
- Market or price statements, with their source
The prompt gives you a first draft. Someone qualified still approves anything a client will read.
