My email subscribers have opted in through a variety of free resources I've provided about Rochester,

and they've stayed.

This is because I am intentional when I show up in their inbox, ready to provide value. I've surveyed them and they're thankful I am not flooding their inboxes. I'm consistent but not overwhelming, popping in twice a month. When they opt-in, they also provide their zip code...

83.3% Monroe County

While I do have subscribers across Western NY and the Finger Lakes, of course the main county represented is my county, Monroe.

But where in Monroe County...?

The majority of those on my list in Monroe County are in the City of Rochester, followed by Brighton, Greece, and Henrietta as the leading suburbs.

We’ll work together every step of the way!

Rest assured, we’ll collaborate to make sure that the selling points that you want prospective customers to know will come across in my authentic and true voice!

You’ll send me the information you would like me to highlight, I’ll make sure to get content of those specific items and I’ll send you script and caption copy and content for approval before posting.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

What is the turnaround time after booking?

The further in advance I have you on my calendar, the better! Ideally a minimum of 2-3 weeks is preferred in order to schedule a site-visit. From there, I’ll create and edit the content and send for approval within 1 week of visiting. We’ll work together in the scheduling process to make sure that time-sensitive content is posted in a timely manner.

What is the procedure with press releases and press passes?

You are welcome to add my email address to your media list, Hope@rocthecitywithhope.com!

Media event attendance is based on availability and does not guarantee posting to the ROCthecitywithHope channels. Content that is newsworthy may be posted and shared at my discretion and will not be available for review or edits by the organizer.

I pride myself on being a cheerleader for our region and aim to only provide positive feedback on organizations in Rochester.

Who do I work with?

I love working with small, local businesses in the hospitality and tourism industry! My followers especially love the food & beverage scene and attractions. Wondering if you qualify? Let’s hop on a 15 minute introductory call to learn more about your organization!

Do I accept gifts, in-kind products or services or event admission as payment?

While I appreciate it is never free for a business to provide in-kind products and services, I unfortunately do not have the capacity to accept unpaid work at this time.

Exceptions for special events may be made at my discretion based on the benefit it provides to my online community.

For more information, feel free to send me an email at Hope@rocthecitywithhope.com
