WHAT WE DO

MEDIA RELATIONS

Editorial coverage is one of the best ways to build buzz. A strategic Media Relations outreach plan is an important tool for building long-term awareness and credibility. The goal of a Media Relations program is to secure prominent exposure for our clients through print, broadcast and web-based media. We have a comprehensive network of media contacts and pride ourselves on a reputation for concise and compelling pitches that result in positive and engaging coverage. We are particularly proud of our ability to find the hidden stories that keep our clients in the news.

PROFILE DEVELOPMENT

As a key aspect of any PR program, Profile Development is about establishing a leadership position for our clients by demonstrating a singular skill set or expertise. By elevating the profile of our clients, they become a go-to resource for news media and are sought out for comment, solidifying their expert positioning. Tactics used to build profile include sourcing and securing highly visible speaking engagements, placing byline editorials in leading trade and mainstream media, and building connections with key influencers.

CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS

Through a Corporate Communications program, companies can reach their target audience with a highly customized, narrowed message that speaks directly to an individual. Using social media and other customized communication vehicles, effective messages can be shared with audiences of five or 5,000 to strategically build brand awareness. Responsible for managing the project, crafting the message and writing the content, Brandon Communications works with an industry-leading team of third-party designers, who bring their creative talents to bear on each individual program.
