There’s an old marketing adage, “Advertising is paying and public relations is praying.” Short and sweet, it identifies the potential weakness in a marketing strategy that relies purely on PR in the guise of media relations. While the practice of media relations is certainly more strategic than the adage suggests, it’s true that it is rarely, if ever, absolute. Editorial discretion, breaking news and a rapidly changing media landscape are just a few of the factors that place the outcome beyond a PR practitioner’s control.
So while we believe in the power of editorial coverage, we also recognize the reality of reaching your audience on your timetable, in the format that best suits your needs. Because we have the ability to become a part of our client’s overall marketing team, we are able to supplement public relations with whatever marketing tools best suit our clients’ objectives, translating into cost-savings and campaign continuity.
From branding to media planning & buying, graphic design to collateral development, website design & development to direct mail campaigns, electronic communications to online marketing...we are able to successfully counsel our clients with bias-free advice, keeping their best interests top of mind. And because we do it all in-house, it’s hands down the most cost-effective way to create an integrated and impactful marketing program. View our design portfolio.
