We work with our clients to develop and continually expand upon a carefully targeted press list.  We draft press releases and conduct extensive telephone, fax and e-mail campaigns to ensure that the releases are picked up.  We continuously monitor editorial opportunities and organize ad hoc interviews on a variety of topics within the client’s area of expertise.  As a result, clients have received significant coverage and have placed bylined articles in leading business and trade publications including, Forbes, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, Crain’s NY Business, CNN, MSNBC, ABC Evening News, The New York Times, Bank Technology News, ABA Banking Journal, Bank Systems & Technology, Internetnews.com, Boardwatch, Global Wireless, Wireless Week, Wireless Review, CIO Magazine, Telecommunications, Network Magazine, TotalTelecom, Telephony, Internet Telephony, Network World, Broadband Networking News, Light Reading, PHONE+, XCHANGE, Network World, Computerworld, Wired, Industry Standard, Cable World, Cable Datacom News, Billing World, InformationWeek, Information Security, SearchSecurity, and BCR.  Our clients normally average 6 to 10 or more significant press mentions per month.  (Top)

Placement of Feature Articles

The placement of feature articles bylined by your company's executives is a powerful way to position your company as an expert on a particular subject and a leader in your industry.  We interview the client, write article proposals, draft the article and make sure it is approved by the bylined author and submitted to the publication by the deadline.  We have proposed, written and placed feature articles in numerous leading trade publications, including many of those listed above.
