Cooperative or Co-Op Satellite Media Tours (Co-Op SMTs) are similar to single client SMTs, except that 3-5 participants generally join in and share the overall expenses to produce the media tour, optimizing budget efficiency. Participants in a Co-Op SMT are usually non-competing and have something different to offer the media tour theme.
Many Co-Op SMTs are targeted around the media calendar. For example:
- “CES-Opening Day”
- “Earth Day – Products with a Purpose”
- “Dads & Grads Gift Ideas”
- “Back to School Tech – Products Making the Grade this Year”
- “Top Holiday Gifts Picks of the Season”
Stations are highly inclined to book these interviews as they aid with content for these themes throughout specific points during the year and are featured as “newsworthy” to their viewers and listeners. Having the ideal spokesperson is critical to the success of bookings and the credibility of media tour messaging. News Media Group is a proven leader in coordinating successful Co-Op media tour campaigns and planning top-performing tours in technology, consumer lifestyle, beauty, and entertainment throughout the year.
