We are media relations experts. We have solid, long-standing ties to key reporters, anchors, producers and editors at the top national and business media outlets across the board and we understand how to capitalize on online and social media opportunities to advance the dialogue further.
Relationships and access represent only a piece of the media relations puzzle. We grow our clients’ media landscape and create opportunities every day through discovery and creativity. For example, we like to say there are ten ways to get in the Wall Street Journal and often times the least obvious can offer the greatest return.
