We define public relations as a comprehensive strategy for drawing attention to your business, engaging the professional news media, bloggers and social networks, and getting your “message” out to the general public. As a dedicated digital media company, we approach public relations with the full spectrum of publicity tools, from old-school media networking to cutting-edge messaging and social media technology.
You’ve got a story that needs to be told – and told the right way
The marketplace is noisy, and it’s tough to get your message noticed. We use our decades of professional journalism skills and experience in internet publishing and community-building to cut through the noise and push your message to the top. Our public relations work extends from custom-crafted Google listings, to professionally written press releases and blog posts, to creating and nurturing a vital social media strategy.
Social media power
While many view social media, such as Facebook, as a whimsical pastime with little real-world impact, the reality is much different. The umbrella term “social media” covers a lot more than Facebook, from blogs to peer reviews to YouTube. Social media is the new “word-of-mouth” – something you want to be part of your public relations arsenal . . . and something you ignore at your peril.
