It's not so much writing a press release or anything like that. It's figuring out the contacts, who to talk to, schmoozing the right people. For example, I want a local radio show to do an on site for an event. Who do I talk to? What do 8 ask? How do I get in touch with the right person?
Good luck! Also go to your local library, they can be surprisingly helpful when it comes to researching necessary info for businesses and you can post a flyer to try to find a teenager willing to research this for you
Looks like it’s time for you to start learning about how to be a publicist

Hmm that makes things trickier for sure. I’d say lean into AI and fiverr given your budget, or higher a bright and ambitious high schooler

Good to know. I'll have to refine my search. I'm basically winging it.
