25 MORNING SHOW + NEWS INTERVIEWS
ON PROPERTY IN TULUM, MEXICO FOR HILTON
Hilton selected me for an in-destination satellite media tour (SMT) to raise awareness of their newly opened all-inclusive luxury hotels, perfect for any type of getaway. They booked me through Celebrity Focus, a company that matches celebrities and well-known experts to celebrity brands.
Once I arrived in Tulum, I spent my downtime researching and exploring the property in preparation for the SMT. Later that day, we had a successful sound, light, and set-up check. I revised my talking points with the Hilton team.
The following morning I arrived on set 45 minutes early at 5:45 am. The crew appreciated me being early due to a change in lighting that required adjustments. At 8:15 am, we started with first our live media interviews. I had two producers in my ear and one off-camera to my left, all providing queues and updates. I completed 25 interviews for news and morning shows around America - including Telemundo and several others in Spanish.
During the interviews, I spoke passionately and authentically about the property, covering key points from the script and forming great chemistry with the anchors and hosts.
Afterward, multiple media outlets contacted me for future travel segments, signaling a job well done. But most importantly, the client was happy. If the client is happy, I am happy. That's all that matters.
