Dear PR - The probability of a successful pitch can be calculated by the following handy formula applied to the details of your client's latest wheeze.
3NT x 4UP x 2BI x 5EAI
----------------------------- = P(copy)
3M^3 x 2ACE x 10L
Where NT = New Technology, UP = Unique Product, BI = Beer Involved, EAI = Engineers Available for Interview, M = Marketing Managers, EMEA or Mornings, ACE = Already Covered Elsewhere (ie, your American brethren have already spilled the beans) and L = the word Leading or Leader in the first para of the press release.
Dear Engineer, Researcher or Inventor - Talk to me. It's the new stuff that makes this game worthwhile.
