On this week’s Pitches That Placed, we’re highlighting a pitch that landed coverage, and a **[video interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJO1gBjzagk)**, in [**Black Enterprise**](https://www.blackenterprise.com/moms-4-housing-organizer-carroll-fife-is-redefining-what-wealth-distribution-looks-like-for-black-people-globally/) for its introduction to a valuable source. Let’s see why this pitch worked:

 

#### **Let’s take a look at the actual pitch that placed: **

*Subject line: RE: Covid-19 Causes Carrol Fife to take the Oakland Housing Fight National*

*Greetings \_\_\_\_,*

*Do you recall the recent media stories about the mothers in Oakland that were evicted from the vacant house with their children in it? I would like to introduce you to Carroll Fife, the housing and community activist in Oakland who's local fight for housing rights has become a national movement with the Covid-19 crisis causing major issues with rent, mortgage defaults, and homelessness. Carroll has been working with leaders and legislatures to come up with solutions to some of these problems.*

*Please let me know if there is an opportunity for Carroll to be a part of a conversation that you are currently engaged in for Black Enterprise, an interview to give insight, or a profile on the work that she is doing and the difference that she is making. Carrol can provide expert commentary or she can interactively add to your content.*

 

#### **Our PR bestie explains why it worked:**

- “I knew what kind of material this journalist liked to cover.”
- “I knew that she was from the Bay Area and was familiar with the community.”
- “The story was good for the publication that I was pitching to get placed in.”
- “I became a fan of the work that she was doing and the story that she was telling. I was 100% sure that she would nail it in print and on camera.”
