Dear
Amanda
I
read yesterdays Media section of ‘The Australian’
with great interest.
“The
Diary” is always a highlight of “The Oz”
– Media, for me, as it’s an excellent wrap
up of recent events.
Being
“in the business” (and acting on various
entitles behalf), I was delighted to see that one
of my clients, ‘“Hottest On TV’ finally
got a guernsey, in the ‘Tso popular, she’s
good business for Nine’ article. One of the aspects
that I like about www.hottestontv.com.au is that it
assists over 400 Australian TV personalities, not
just focussing on 1 or 2 “names”, everyone
is in the running, and it helps beat the politics
of the media business, where as everyone is invited
to the party. Not there’s anything wrong with
“invitation only’s”, “mates favours”
and such (when there is real talent involved).
I’ve
been campaigning “Media” for off an on now
for a year to run a piece on my operation, and / or
some of my clients. Recently, when I read your associates,
Mark Day’s column entitled, ‘Online players
come of age’, I suggested to Mark that he and
‘Media' should take a closer look at myself and
some of my associates, and before you knew it…POW!
The last time I was personally mentioned in “The
Oz” was back with 'Law’s sees a kinder side
of Telstra', (regarding me notifying John and the
audience that was both Telstra and Optus “Salesperson
of the month”, and that I wished to voice my
opinion on the two companies.
Just
as Mark, Tso, Channel Nine and yourself have found,
it pays to listen to the audience, in both goodwill
and financial terms.
To
“celebrate” ‘The Oz’s' recognition
of my client, and reading of my correspondence, I
promptly took out an online subscription to your Newsstand
online newspaper service, and I’ve made it anything
but a secret.
In
the world of media its refreshing to see that worthy
and newsworthy individuals and entities who are not
necessarily on Kerry’s and Rupert’s payrolls,
can still beat “the system” and get a run,
even in publications as prestigious as yours.
For
the record, “Hottest” receives over 1.4
million hits per week, and our website “only”
receives 300,000 plus. Having said that, it’s
not only “how many” that count, “it’s
who”, and you know who!
I
applaud “The Oz” (media), and I’m been
even more frequently reading your broadsheet and new
age offerings. As I tell others, I support those,
who support us.
Best
Regards
