Is it worthwhile to pitch a reality show to a lower-level executive?

Mark Cronin (Founder & Producer) gives expert video advice on: How can I get a pitch meeting with a network?; How should I pitch if the person I'm meeting is a lower-level executive?; How can I tell who the power player is in a pitch meeting? and more...

Pitching to a lower level executive, or somebody who isn't a green light person, is often just a reality of pitching as a new person in the reality show business. It does not mean that you should not do it. If you can't get a meeting with the green light person, take the meeting with the lower level person because it's better to pitch, and pitch in a timely fashion, than wait to hope that maybe the president will see you in a year. It just doesn't make sense and often the green light person won't even take a pitch meeting.
