Common Questions

What Clients Ask Before Calling

How does the 15-bookings-per-month guarantee work?
Once you are signed on as a client, we commit in writing to delivering at least 15 booked interview placements every month. If we miss the target, we make it up the following month or extend your engagement at no additional cost. Specifics are agreed on the strategy call.
What does this cost?
Bookings are quoted per-campaign based on your goals and the placements you want. Strategy calls are always free.
How long until I am on a show?
Most clients get their first booking within 30 to 60 days, depending on how timely your topic is and how flexible your availability looks.
Do you only book big national shows?
No. We book national TV, syndicated radio, regional shows, top podcasts, and trade media. The right show is the one your audience is watching.
What if I have never been on TV?
Most of our clients have not. We coach you before every appearance and prep the talking points so you show up ready and confident.
Where are you based?
North Carolina. We work with clients across the United States and abroad.
What kinds of guests do you not book?
We do not take on clients whose message we cannot realistically pitch. If your topic is too niche or not a good fit for the shows we work with, we will tell you on the strategy call.

You Have a Message. We Have the Microphone.
