Fish 0 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 No one commenting on the feature article on the success of SSANZ in the same magazine? I thought it gave big ups to SSANZ and their contribution to the yachting scene in NZ. Not bad for a publication with a required commercial focus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 290 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 We did offer to help them with a story and they said they were writing a price on ssanz and the RNI and didnt need anything so we left it at that. SSANZ article was great but I must say the RNI feature could have been a lot more detailed. I am guessing it was a bit of a marketing thing. Other than answering a few questions I didn't have much to do with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philstar 61 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The SSANZ article was great but I would have thought RNI warrented its own article. anyway the latest Marshall Law videos below Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Other than answering a few questions I didn't have much to do with it. I wasn't having a dig at you Josh. Your coverage is always great and you guys were spectacular in the race. I just felt they could have done a little research on the RNI. All they would need are crew contact details from Jon, give them a call and ask for 200 words on their most memorable part of the race. Or even a phone call. The Gisborne reception was a story all by itself from what I heard!! Joe Yachtie likes to read this stuff. This race is about ordinary Kiwis pushing themselves fairly hard, and I for one, love to hear other people's stories! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolution 7 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 This is what the dark art of public relations is all about... if someone provided the publisher with professionally written copy, high quality photos and a good reason to publish it then there is a lot more chance of seeing it in print. Most media organisations don't have the time or the resources to generate all of their own content. If you can make it easy/compelling for them to print what you want then there is a much higher chance of it happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Battleship 100 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Nice video of the Marshall's trip, must stitch all our random clips together at some stage. Amazed seeing the amount of breeze you had at cape Turnagain we were pretty much becalmed a few miles south and carried our awesome patch of no wind all the way to Napier.

ballystick 66 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I was thinking the same about the amount of breeze they had around Turnagain, Wil, as I watched the fleet split into 2 distinct groups up the Wairarapa on YB tracker, unfortunately for you on Truxton! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 290 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Not sure if I ever put our RNI video up here. Its long- more of as documentary really but gives a good idea of the whole race and the conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 66 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Great footage Booboo, I like the exit of Wgtn harbour content, 2-handed with the big gear up and filming the carnage! Legendary! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Veladare 95 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Id suggest you get on facebook then, if only for this event, if you can use a tracker then you can use facebook, simply like this 1 page and be done with it. Coverage was fine, live starts, updates... If you dont like that answer, then dont complain about sh*t coverage, cause it was all there....having yer head on the sand b/c you dont like social media or whatever is irrelevant. This is where it is heading, whether you like it or not. Same for Transpac. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 What mayday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Herdy 0 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 The SSANZ Facebook page is a public page. Therefore anyone can view without having to be a member of Facebook. Just click on the link from the SSANZ website and you can view everything that is available. I am not on Facebook and refuse to be, but can view all the updates from SSANZ.

ScottiE 174 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 that's my approach as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Veladare 95 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Even easier..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Can anyone post a link to the mayday story? I did try looking on facebook... Wanted me to log in or sign up, but even then I can't find the content. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
