Hello, this is Marie Swift, Marketing Communications Coach for the Garrett Planning Network.

The Media leg of the Garrett master website has become a one-stop resource for journalists. We continue to stimulate media inquiries to our members through the Locate an Advisor map, which is available to both consumer journalists and industry journalists whenever they’re looking for expert advice.

Journalists also have a second search feature function available to them. They can search for a resource by area of specialization. When you join the Network, one of the administrators will get you set up on the Locate an Advisor map and list your areas of specialization on the Media leg of the website. The media section also contains story ideas, fast facts about the Network, biographies of the principal players and after-hours access to Network leaders via a media hotline.

The Network also creates news releases for members to customize and use as their own. Those will be provided to you via the password protected Garrett Knowledge Bank. Some news releases, if they are put out nationally by the Network proper, will contain Sheryl Garrett’s contact information and will be sent out to the media via our proprietary media list and/or a newswire service.

We also maintain robust “In The News” pages which are shown on all legs of the master site. Anytime Sheryl Garrett is quoted or the Network is mentioned in the media we will post a news summary of the article under Garrett – In The News. There is also a special section for Members – In The News. When you are quoted by the media or published in some fashion we invite you to provide a news summary for the master site. This will increase your visibility, boost your search engine ratings and enhance overall perceptions.

Visit the Media leg of GarrettPlanningNetwork.com and click around. You’ll be impressed by what you see.
