Gregory FCA's "Today" show challenge

I tell anyone in consumer products that if you want to get on the "Today" show, talk to Jackie Zima -- our consumer products PR pro here at Gregory FCA. She has a three-year run of landing weight loss clients on the set, chatting with Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira. She's got the format down pat, and works six months in advance with producers to frame show ideas and then deliver our clients within them.

So when Jackie's colleague, Katie Nicolai, told me she was going to New York to meet with "Today," I laid down the challenge. Get the Gregory FCA name on national TV in the "Today" show receiving line, and Gregory FCA would pay $300. With her usual youthful exuberance, Katie took me up on the offer.

Her unconventional approach deserved an unconventional payoff. So I rewarded Katie with the cash. Congrats to Katie!
