Media Relations

Media relations, or earned media, is an essential component of a smart communications strategy. While messages can be disseminated in a multitude of ways and places, “traditional media” still wields an enormous amount of influence. In a time of content overload, earned media – that coveted 3rd party validation – has never been more important.
