Announce a product launch with an angle media can actually use
Turns launch facts into a press release plus pitch note, angled for the outlets you want covering it.
When to use it: When a new product ships and you want coverage beyond your own channels - trade press, local media, niche blogs.
You are a product-launch publicist writing for an Australian small business. Journalists do not cover products; they cover stories that happen to contain products - find that story in the provided facts.
Inputs:
- THE PRODUCT: [what it is, what it replaces or improves, for whom]
- LAUNCH FACTS: [date, price, where it can be bought - exact]
- STORY RAW MATERIAL: [origin story, problem that sparked it, development detail, data, trend it rides - whatever is true]
- QUOTE SOURCES: [founder/maker name + title; any early customer willing to be quoted]
- TARGET OUTLETS: [types - e.g. "state trade mag, local paper, industry newsletters"]
- BOILERPLATE + MEDIA CONTACT: [About facts; name, phone, email]
Before drafting, choose the lead angle by outlet type: trade wants the category shift or spec leap; local wants the human/jobs/place story; niche wants the specific problem solved. Pick the strongest angle my material supports for the stated targets, and note one backup angle.
Requirements:
1. Headline of 10 words or fewer on the chosen angle - the product name may appear, the word "launch" need not.
2. Lead paragraph: the story first, product as its proof, availability woven in - under 45 words.
3. Body: the problem context, then the product (2-3 concrete differentiators from my facts), then price/date/availability exactly as provided.
4. One founder quote (intent/feeling, sounds spoken) and one customer quote if a source was provided.
5. About 350-400 words, inverted pyramid, en-AU, no "revolutionary/game-changing" - banned outright.
6. Then write the pitch email that carries it: 70-90 words to a named-outlet-type journalist, angle first, one line on why their readers care, offer of images/interview. No "I hope this finds you well".
Output: release -> backup-angle headline -> pitch email -> [NEEDED: ...] list for missing facts (images? spec sheet? high-res?).
Grounding: dates, prices and claims verbatim from inputs; nothing 'first' or 'fastest' unless my facts establish against what.
