Your Pitch Gets Rejected? Here’s Why

Great pitching is not just about what you ask for, but when and how you ask. In this conversation, Chanel Rae breaks down why relationships, timing, and understanding a client’s stage matter when pitching media, artists, and opportunities.

The discussion covers why it helps when someone clearly says “pass,” how seasoned teams expect more, and why not every client is ready for the same platform. A strong pitch matches the moment, not just the goal.
