I received this email today from a journalist called Mark Anstead (or, at least, purporting to be him).
Hello, I am always on the hunt for people to interview for Mail on Sunday, Sunday Express and Telegraph and I wonder if you can help?
If you are working with well-known names/faces or people we may have seen in the news or on TV, perhaps you may know if they happen to fit either of my criteria below?
It could mean the chance of a double page spread (and possibly a fee, or to use it as a profile/awareness raiser for anything they are promoting). The two things I am looking for are:
* those thinking of moving/selling/buying a property. The great thing about property features is we also profile the person and what they are up to, so this can be good either for any kind of publicity project they are involved with or promoting their own business venture and can also help them sell a property faster or get a better price. (Sorry - this one just a publicity plug, see below for possible fee)
Or
* if they have had any medical treatment in the last few years (for anything - the more common the better). It could be good for my health features. Must be well-known people and we can include a good publicity plug (or, for very well-known, a fee depending on story)
So if you have a long list of clients maybe its worth enquiring if any are thinking of moving or have needed a doctor in the last few years?
I leave you all to ponder on the merits of this trawl.
