| At Roxhill Media we know that building authentic relationships with journalists is essential for PRs. Meeting face-to-face allows both sides to bond beyond the inbox and allows PR to pitch most effectively. That’s why Team Roxhill has organised a lunch next to The Daily Mail and The i Paper’s offices on Tuesday 17th March, 12.30 – 2pm. We are bringing together key lifestyle journalists and editors from both titles in one place, making it easier for PRs to share ideas, pitch relevant stories, and develop lasting relationships in a relaxed, personal setting – all without the cumbersome logistics of organising multiple meetings. |
We’ll be welcoming the following Daily Mail and The i Paper journalists and producers: Antonia Lenon, Commissioning Editor, Femail Magazine, Daily Mail, Ben Parker, Deputy Head of Travel, Daily Mail and Mail On Sunday, Genie Harrison, Executive Travel Editor, Daily Mail and Mail On Sunday, Marianne Jones, Features, YOU magazine, Mail On Sunday, Sadhbh O’Sullivan, Consumer Health Writer, The i Paper, Sophie Lam, Travel Editor, The i Paper, Tom Chesshyre, Travel Editor & Reporter, Daily Mail, Chloe Lambert, Features & Lifestyle Editor, The i Paper, Emma Featherstone, Deputy Travel Editor, The i Paper.
You’ll get the chance to chat to them over a light lunch and drinks, introduce yourself, tell them about your relevant clients, and, most importantly, learn more about them so next time you pitch, you can tailor your ideas to their requirements. Plus, once they’ve met you, you’ll get that crucial inbox recognition that will hopefully lead to email opens, and then coverage.
Join us at The Lunch Club in March: please see the full list of journalists attending below and ticket link.
We have 30 tickets for PRs available, priced at £120 each, including a light lunch and drinks. They will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. We look forward to seeing you then.
