For the first episode back, I want to get into something that could significantly impact your photography business. Something that should help you land more clients and have some money rolling in the door, regardless of if you are working full time or just doing this on the side. I&apos;m going to help you pitch your work to content managers, creative directors, and anyone in charge of making beautiful things at brands around the world. I&apos;ve taken on this role at a tourism board and couldn&apos;t be more thrilled that I get to work with incredible creatives to help promote the destination I work for. And in the now seven months I&apos;ve been in this position, I&apos;ve learned a lot about pitching, what works, and what just irritates me. So today, I&apos;m going to give you four tips to help get your pitch through the door and make it more likely that you will get a callback. This is coming from the perspective of someone working in the tourism industry. Still, I think it applies across a broad spectrum of brands and businesses.As we get going, there are a few things that I&apos;m taking for granted here with you, the listener. You are interested in working with brands to make content - if you&apos;re not, this information really won&apos;t help you. You can consistently create fantastic images, and you are ready to put in the work. Because working with brands can be a lot of fun; but it is also a lot of time, energy and effort.You can follow along with Robert’s adventures on Instagram @RobertMasseyPhotography.
