CMBN MEDIA SERVICES — MEDIA KIT & PRESS PACK

Get press-ready
in five days.

Most Chiang Mai businesses have a good story and no way to tell it to a journalist. No brand narrative. No story angles. No journalist contacts. No pitch emails. When a media opportunity arrives — a journalist asking for comment, an event that deserves coverage, a product ready to launch — the moment passes unused. CMBN builds the complete press-ready foundation in five working days.

THE GAP

Every media opportunity
requires materials you
probably do not have.

A journalist from Bangkok Post emails asking for background on your business after reading a mention in a CMBN article. A podcaster covering Chiang Mai food businesses wants to feature you. A trade exhibition organiser asks for a press kit. A potential partner in Singapore asks for a media one-pager before agreeing to a call.

Most Chiang Mai businesses have a website, an active Line OA, maybe a Facebook page with strong organic reach. None of that answers any of those requests. What journalists, editors, and business partners need is a concise brand story, specific pitchable angles, and professional materials they can actually use. Without those, the opportunity closes before it opens.

A Media Kit is not a luxury for large businesses. It is the minimum infrastructure for any business that wants to be covered by journalists, featured by media, or taken seriously by partners who do due diligence before agreeing to a meeting. CMBN builds it in five days and prices it at a level the Chiang Mai mid-market can justify.

“A journalist who cannot find a brand story, a high-resolution image, and a clear explanation of what makes the business interesting will move to the next business on their list. The window is usually one email. The businesses that respond with a complete press pack get the feature. The ones that send a Facebook link do not.”

The CMBN Media Kit is a templated, fast-delivery product designed specifically for businesses that are not yet running a full Digital PR programme but need to be press-ready now. It is the entry point to professional media engagement — and for many businesses, the first time their story has been articulated at the standard a journalist would accept.

It is also the foundation document for any future CMBN Digital PR, Trade PR, or Corporate Communications engagement. Clients who start with a Media Kit and later upgrade to a full service have a 3–4 week head start because the brand story, story angles, and journalist contacts are already built.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Five deliverables. Everything a journalist
needs to cover your story.

Every deliverable in the standard Media Kit has a specific purpose in the press engagement process. Nothing is padding. Nothing is generic. Everything is written for your business.

01
Brand Story Document

A 400-word brand narrative written for journalists rather than customers. This is not your About page reformatted. It is the story of your business told from the outside — what makes it distinctive, what the market context is, what the human element is. Written at the standard a sub-editor at Bangkok Post would accept without rewriting.

INCLUDES
  • Business origin and founding story in editorial register
  • Market position and competitive distinctiveness
  • Key facts, figures, and milestones in journalist-usable format
  • One founder or leadership quote suitable for direct editorial citation
  • Delivered in English and Thai
02
Three Story Angles

Three distinct, fully developed story angles built from the CMBN Research Engine brief on your business. Each angle is a different editorial hook — a data point, an origin story, a market trend — each targeting a different type of publication or journalist. Not vague themes. Specific, pitchable angles that a journalist can understand in one sentence.

EACH ANGLE INCLUDES
  • The pitch concept in one sentence
  • The evidence base — data, story, or trend — that makes it credible
  • The target publication type best suited to this angle
  • The news hook or timeliness factor
  • The journalist ask — what you are offering them
03
Journalist Contact List

50 curated journalist and editor contacts matched to your sector, your story angles, and your target publication tiers. Not a purchased list. Not a generic database export. Contacts selected and reviewed by CMBN’s editorial team for relevance — journalists who actually cover your beat and would plausibly be interested in the angles developed.

EACH CONTACT INCLUDES
  • Journalist name and current title
  • Publication and coverage beat
  • Email address (verified where available)
  • Notes on recent coverage relevant to your angles
  • Publication tier (national, trade, regional, international)
04
Two Pitch Email Drafts

Two complete, ready-to-send pitch emails — one for each of the two strongest story angles from your kit. Written in the register that trade and national journalists respond to: specific, brief, clear on the ask, and demonstrating that the writer has read the publication. You review, make any changes, and send. No rewriting required.

EACH PITCH INCLUDES
  • Subject line (the make-or-break element — we write three options)
  • Opening hook — why this journalist, why this story, why now
  • The angle in two sentences maximum
  • The supporting evidence — the fact or quote that makes it credible
  • A clear, single call to action
05
OG Image & Social Card

A press-ready Open Graph image formatted for editorial use, social sharing, and Line preview cards. When your story is shared — by a journalist, by a partner, by CMBN — the preview image appears professionally rather than defaulting to a random website screenshot. Designed to CMBN’s editorial visual standards with your brand identity applied.

INCLUDES
  • OG image at 1200×630px — editorial and social standard
  • Line share preview formatted and tested
  • Business name, category, and key credential visible
  • CMBN quality mark included (optional)
  • Source file provided for future updates
+
Pro Kit Additions

The Pro Media Kit adds four further deliverables for businesses that need a more complete press infrastructure — particularly useful for businesses approaching a product launch, exhibition, or investor conversation.

PRO KIT ADDS
  • Full press release — launch or announcement ready
  • Two additional story angles (five total)
  • Journalist contact list expanded to 100 contacts
  • CEO / founder quote bank — five attributed quotes ready for use
WHO IT’S FOR

Any business with a story that
journalists should be telling.

The Media Kit is designed for businesses at the entry point of press engagement — not yet running a full PR programme, but ready to be covered when the opportunity arrives.

Hospitality & F&B operators
Restaurants, cafés, hotels, and wellness businesses that attract media attention but have no materials ready when a journalist asks. The Media Kit ensures the next journalist inquiry results in a feature, not a missed opportunity.
Product and export businesses
Businesses preparing for trade exhibitions, export market entry, or distributor conversations who need professional press materials before those interactions begin. A Media Kit is the minimum credibility signal for B2B conversations.
Startups and early-stage businesses
New businesses that need to establish editorial credibility quickly — for investors, partners, and customers — without the budget for a full PR retainer. The Media Kit is the highest-value entry investment in press infrastructure.
NGOs and social enterprises
Organisations with compelling missions and no communications infrastructure. Donors, grant-makers, and partner organisations research media coverage as part of due diligence. A Media Kit makes the difference between being found and being overlooked.
Businesses entering new markets
Companies expanding from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, or from Thailand to Singapore, Japan, or Europe — who need a professional English-language press infrastructure that works in the target market from day one of the expansion.
CMBN members upgrading their presence
Existing CMBN members with a Golden Pages listing and a website who want to take the next step into active media engagement. The Media Kit is the bridge between digital presence and editorial presence — and members receive a 20% discount.
HOW IT WORKS

From order to delivery
in five working days.

1
30-minute briefing call
Once you confirm your order, we schedule a 30-minute briefing call — via Line, video, or in person. We ask about your business, your target media, any existing coverage, and what media opportunity you are preparing for. This is the only thing we need from you. No lengthy forms. No brand guidelines documents. Just the conversation.
2
Research brief (day 1)
The CMBN Research Engine builds a structured brief on your business, sector, and competitive landscape. We identify the strongest factual foundations for your brand story and story angles — data points, market context, and narrative opportunities you may not have noticed yourself. This is what makes CMBN media kits different from templates filled with client-supplied copy.
3
Draft production (days 2–3)
Brand story, three story angles, journalist contact list, two pitch email drafts, and OG image are produced simultaneously. Every element is written for your specific business and target media — not populated from a template with your name inserted. The journalist list is curated by CMBN’s editorial team, not exported from a database.
4
Your review (day 4)
The full kit is delivered to you via a shared document — you can review on your phone via Line or on a laptop. One round of revisions is included. Most clients change very little. The most common revision is adding a specific product or service detail we could not verify from external research. We update and finalise within 24 hours.
5
Final delivery (day 5)
The complete Media Kit is delivered as a single PDF for sharing with media, a Google Drive folder with editable documents and source files, and a plain-text version of the pitch emails ready to paste and send. You are press-ready. The next time a journalist asks, you have an answer in two minutes.

CLIENT RESULTS

What changes when you have
something to send a journalist.

The Media Kit does not guarantee coverage. It guarantees that when a journalist asks, you have a professional answer ready within two minutes.

“We were exhibiting at THAIFEX for the first time and had nothing to hand journalists who visited our stand except a product brochure in Thai. CMBN built our Pro Kit in the week before the show. At the exhibition, two food industry journalists visited our stand, took the press pack, and one of them followed up with a Food Navigator Asia story three weeks later. That article was read by a Singapore distributor who became our first international account.”

Pro Kit
“As a social enterprise working with hill tribe weaving communities, we had an extraordinary story and absolutely no ability to communicate it to the international press. The CMBN Media Kit gave us a brand story in both languages, three angles we had never thought to pitch, and a journalist list that included sustainable fashion writers we had not known existed. Within six weeks of receiving the kit, we had secured a feature in a UK ethical fashion publication and an interview request from a Singapore podcast. Both were direct results of using the pitch emails from the kit.”
