How Does It Work?
By focusing on the immediate needs of the media and giving them quick access to a designated spokesperson, SMS focuses on positioning its clients to receive positive media coverage. If yours is a large organization already in the news, you need to consider using SMS for image consulting, or in some cases, damage control. Don’t let the media have control of your situation. It is within your power to take and keep control when a story is evolving around you and your organization. The problem is, most are not taught media promotion or appropriate handling of the press when the need arises. It is easy for “good” people to get “bad” press because they do not know how to prevent it.
Why Hire a P.R. Firm?
With contacts at all major newspapers and wire services around the country, as well as broadcast media, the media-savvy professionals at Stoddard Media Services have a keen nose for news and are quick to react to breaking stories. We can initiate new pitches to bookers, producers, and reporters at a moment's notice. This is why SMS clients are featured in cover stories and as front page news in Fortune, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Morning News, The Baptist Standard, and on ABC News Nightline, Court TV, and others.
Where to Start?
First, you need good promotional materials, such as effective press releases, brochures and even press kits stating your important mission. The media need to know about websites and web content that portrays you in the best possible light. They need to know whether or not to buy ad space in print or broadcast media, plus local Yellow Pages, for example. You need to know about all the free promotion avenues which are available and productive.
Now, individuals and both large and small groups can learn the secrets of how to promote themselves most effectively in their immediate neighborhoods as well as to the community at large and the rest of the world, if needed.
Stoddard Media Services is an effective public relations and promotions firm. Positive media coverage pays off in terms of good will in the community, new members attracted to your group, and often more income with which to carry out your mission. We want to shed light on the newsworthy activities of your group and its people. Let us make it happen for you.
