Live from our #askmediaanything webinar, "We are very about “people”. We have a rule that every photo we use has to be a person. People care when it’s a founder that has a great story to tell." - @TheBenBergman of @BusinessInsider

Live from our #askmediaanything webinar, "A bad way to pitch is something that’s generic. We don’t want it when it has been somewhere else. We generally don’t do funding news unless we’re first on it.” - @TheBenBergman of @BusinessInsider

Live from our #askmediaanything webinar, "Great pitches are usually … a little off-topic. Something that’s on EXACTLY what I just wrote is not that helpful." - @Megan_Leonhardt of @FortuneMagazine

Live from our #askmediaanything webinar, "I do live in the world of survey data. I’m a little bit stricter on most of it. Don’t send me a pitch that doesn’t include the methodology. We look to make sure things are statistically significant." - @Megan_Leonhardt of @FortuneMagazine
— BAM (@BAMtheagency) September 30, 2021
Live from our #askmediaanything webinar, "I really want the raw data, and I want it in a way that I can work with it." - @Megan_Leonhardt of @FortuneMagazine

— BAM (@BAMtheagency) September 30, 2021
Live from our #askmediaanything webinar, "We’ve moved away from individual funding stories unless it’s part of a bigger trend. We’re a little bit more trend focused. We’re a little bit more sector focused." - @GeneTeare of @Crunchbase
— BAM (@BAMtheagency) September 30, 2021
Live from our #askmediaanything webinar, "We use a lot of our own data. We see ourselves as a resource to the broader industry. We’ll help package the data based on what a journalist needs." - @GeneTeare of @crunchbase
