If a client requests guidance on social media platforms or is looking to begin digital advertising, our team is quick to provide recommendations and implementations.
3. Combining Content Creation
With many clients signed on for content creation, the teams work in tandem to spot industry trends, current events and relevant articles to showcase a brand’s expertise and thought leadership through social media copy, blog posts and website optimization. By working cohesively, media pitching is aligned with stories told on digital, creating an integrated public relations strategy.
