It’s common every so often for 101 to get email requests from TV and media companies asking Fusion101 or FREEChristianDating to be featured on their show.
Unfortunately for me (101 owner and Administrator) – because of the sheer workload of running 101, I have not been in the best of health for much of the time (getting severe migraines etc) and usually have to decline these amazing offers of free promotion. In fact I was only able to take up 2 offers to appear on TV and you can read about 101 on TV here and here.
Below is one of many offers (this one was taken up) to appear on TV over the years!
This example is the letter I received from NERD TV Network..
Dear Edward,
I hope you don’t mind me getting in touch with you out of the blue!
My name is Shayna Layton and I’m contacting you from a TV production company in London called NERD. We make factual programmes and documentaries for a wide range of national and international channels including Channel 4, Sky and National Geographic. My colleague Kate Pumfrey may have been in touch with you (quite a while ago now) but if not, I’d love to chat to you and tell you a little about what we’re planning.
We are making a new documentary series that focuses on faith and dating and in particular on how church leaders balance their professional religious life with their personal relationships. We want to look at all the ways single Christians can meet one another in the 21st Century, and I think Fusion 101 is a particularly brilliant business with a sincere heartfelt history and some wonderful success stories.
I would love to have an informal chat with you as part of my research, and to get your thoughts on our programme. Are you about to have a quick call about this at some point next week?
Alternatively, you can contact me on 0795*******.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon!
Kind regards,
Shayna.
