Kryptowährungen sind zurück und der Bitcoin ist salonfähig geworden. Was für diesen Mark relevant ist und wie sich die Kryptowährungen voneinander unterscheiden bespreche ich mit Dr. Matthias Völkel dem CEO der Börse Stuttgart. 

In den USA verschiebt sich die Zinswende, die Inflation ist weiterhin zu hoch: Wir hören rein in die Pressekonferenz des wohl mächtigsten Notenbankers der Welt, dem Fed-Chef Jerome Powell. 

Auch in Deutschland machen sich Frühlingsgefühle breit - die Wirtschaft fasst wieder Fuss. Ich spreche mit Holger Schmieding, dem Chefvolkswirt von Berenberg, über Deutschland und auch über die Auswirkungen eines möglichen Wahlsiegs Donals Trumps. 

Last but no least: das Investment der Woche ist die niederländische Philips. Ein grosser Rechtsstreit in den USA ist beigelegt, die Aktie hebt ab.

What does it take for a genuine subject matter expert to generate literally hundreds of items of media exposure? Well, that’s whatJake Moorehas been able to do.

And not just any media coverage: we’re talking tier 1 editorial exposure! That is, coverage in the top UK media outlets such as BBC Radio, ITV News, CNBC, Sky News, Forbes, The Times, The Daily Mail, The Independent, Wired, Forbes and Al Jazeera. And that’s just a small portion of what he’s been able to achieve!

But first, a bit of context. In the previous episode (#17), media relations specialist Liam Fitzpatrick, the founder of Commswork, joined me to discuss how business owners and professional experts can earn legitimate editorial coverage in independent third-party media outlets.

So I thought I'd follow up the Liam interview with a chat I had with Jake, previously recorded for my other podcast - REPUTATION REVOLUTION: The Professional Personal Branding Show. It was one of that podcast's most popular episodes, and we really got into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to build national media profile by someone who's done it - and continues to reinforce his positioning as the go-to expert in his space.

Jake is Global Cybersecurity Advisor for ESET, Europe's number one cybersecurity company. As well as conducting research and analysis into the latest cybersecurity and AI threats and trends, he also regularly comments on a range of cybersecurity stories in the press for outlets major print, broadcast and online media outlets in the UK and internationally. He is often asked to give his opinion, advice and analysis on articles featuring a cybersecurity or technology angle.

Topics covered in this interview:

Key takeaways:

Building a strong reputation can significantly enhance your credibility and visibility in the mediaResponsiveness and trust are key when interacting with journalists; being available for quick comments can lead to more opportunities for coverageEducating through the media rather than selling creates value for both the audience and your brand.

Rounding up:

While a PR agency has played a crucial role in helping Jake generate exposure in the media, the key message here is preparation: doing what’s required to build relationships with journalists, editors and radio/TV producers.

Jake’s tips and lessons are highly relevant, even if you’re just starting out on your media relations journey with no outside help.
