Let me start this challenge by retelling a story from our first challenge* about a client I personally placed in The New York Times. Here’s a snapshot:

In 2002, I told Wasabi Publicity client Chris Zappia that he’d get media coverage one day with us because of the fact he grew up across from Disney. Later in his career, he managed hotels. When he hired Wasabi, he was the executive director of a nonprofit finding permanent homes for large orphaned sibling groups. He said I was crazy for thinking he’d get media coverage from the fact he’d grown up with his dad across from Disney. Two years later, I was talking to a New York Times travel writer about Chris and she LOVED the fact he grew up across from Disney. It turned into a feature all about Chris, his quirks, and unique experiences in life. Read it here. ?

? This Friday, we’ll get your story straight and turn it into materials press can’t resist.
