Best Practices

Story Kit enables pitching to the impactful journalists. For your pitch to be successful you need to do a few things:

  1. Sell the journalist on why they specifically should care about and write your story
  2. Entice the journalist to click the Story Kit link, what interesting and helpful assets will they discover on your Story Kit landing page
  3. Story Kit allows you to share a pre-publish link with your team, both Cision users and non-users, so that you can get feedback on your Story Kit before you publish it. This link is not tracked, so it does not affect the analytics of your Story Kit.
