Context you provide

• {{industry}}: The industry I'm in.
• {{current_contacts}}: Any existing media contacts or database (optional).
• {{relationship_goals}}: What I want to achieve (e.g., more coverage, thought leadership).
• {{communication_preferences}}: Any known preferences of my contacts (optional).

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Provide a strategy for building relationships with journalists, including initial outreach and ongoing engagement.
3. Recommend best practices for maintaining a media contact database (e.g., fields to track, update frequency).
4. Suggest personalized follow-up strategies that add value, such as sharing relevant insights or resources.
5. Outline a cadence for regular communication that keeps relationships warm without being intrusive.

Output format Present a clear plan with sections: Relationship Strategy, Database Best Practices, Follow-up Tactics, and Communication Cadence. Use bullet points and practical examples.

Guardrails

• Do not suggest spamming or overly frequent contact; focus on quality interactions.
• Flag any assumptions about my current contacts or goals.
• Keep advice general enough to apply across industries, but tailor examples to my context.

Example Industry: tech startups; Current contacts: 20 journalists from previous launches; Relationship goals: increase feature coverage in top-tier tech publications.
