Media Outreach / Public Relations
Pitching to journalists takes know-how and an established network. We’ve got both. Getting mentioned on an ongoing basis is key. We are a go-to resource for many journalists when they are putting together articles on varied topics. They know we can provide a quick turn around with details and photos so our clients get mentioned in many different publications month after month. And, we happen to own the website you are currently on, so our clients get guaranteed publicity here and are included on many of our most popular pages that draw visitors every month. We can do the same for your restaurant.
