TV Publicity & PR for Founders

Get your story on the programs and networks where it belongs

Founders who show up consistently in broadcast media don’t just build visibility; they build thought leadership. The kind that shapes how investors, partners, and customers see you before the first conversation happens. We help founders get there.

Ready to build your broadcast presence?

Let's talk about what that looks like for you.

Who We Are

Our team includes former journalists and newsroom insiders who understand how broadcast media actually works — how stories get chosen, how guests get booked and what keeps a founder from getting called back.

We’ve spent years building the relationships with producers, bookers, and editors that make consistent placement possible. We know how to match your expertise to what the media is covering right now, position you for recurring visibility, and prepare you to deliver when you get there.

Who We Work With

We partner with founders who have a genuine point of view and are ready to build a TV presence, not just land a single segment. Our clients typically include:

  • Startup and growth-stage founders building credibility in competitive markets
  • CEOs and executives looking to expand beyond earned media into broadcast visibility
  • Founders entering a fundraise, launch, or inflection point where visibility matters
  • Business leaders who want to become the voice their industry turns to

If you have insight worth sharing and an audience worth reaching, we know how to get you in front of them. 

What We Do

TV publicity for founders goes beyond booking. We develop the story angles that producers want, pitch the right shows at the right moments, prepare you for the interview, and manage the media relationships that drive repeat bookings. Our work includes:

  • Thought leadership positioning and story angle development tied to breaking news in your space
  • Targeted pitching to national morning programs, cable business and news networks, and digital broadcast
  • On-air media training and message refinement. We prepare founders to deliver clearly under time pressure, stay on message, and make the kind of impression that leads to a second invitation
  • Booking management and ongoing producer relationship development. We maintain the connections with producers and bookers that keep our clients top of mind when news cycles shift and story needs change.
  • Podcast guest placement for founders building long-form thought leadership

Is This the Right Fit For You?

TV publicity and thought leadership development work best when there’s a real story behind them. We’re not in the business of manufacturing moments. Rather, we find the angles already present in what you’re building and get them in front of the right audiences.

If you’re earlier in the process and want to build your broadcast readiness first, our media training work or PR Launchpad program may be the right place to start!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get booked?

Most clients see their first broadcast media placement within the first few months of engagement. Building a consistent broadcast presence is a longer play. The relationships and story angles we develop on your behalf are what make recurring coverage possible.

Do I need media training before we start?

Not necessarily. We assess where you are as a communicator early in the engagement and recommend training if we think it will meaningfully improve your results. We work with founders and executives who are new to broadcast and those who have prior experience.  For founders earlier in the process, our guide to common TV interview mistakes is a useful starting point.

How does TV publicity support thought leadership development?

Broadcast media is one of the fastest ways to establish a founder as the authority in their space. A recurring presence on the right programs — commenting on industry trends, breaking news, or emerging challenges in your market — builds a public record of expertise that owned content alone can’t replicate. Over time, it shifts how journalists, investors and even peers perceive you.

What kinds of TV placements do you target?

It depends on what you’re trying to accomplish and who you’re trying to reach. We work across national morning and daytime programming, cable business and news networks, local market television, and digital programs at broadcast scale. We target the outlets where your appearance will actually move something for your business.

Do you work with founders outside New York?

Yes. While Pace PR is an NYC-based PR firm, we work with founders across the country. Many national broadcast placements don’t require in-studio appearance, and we coordinate remote setups when needed.
