What our clients say about MACIAS PR

I continually hear from potential clients that they got burned by their previous PR firm.

It’s a shame but anyone can put up a shingle and call themselves a PR firm. This is why it’s so important to do your due diligence before you hire your PR firm. You also need to ask the right questions.

What kind of track record has this PR firm established?
Who is the leader behind the strategy?
What experience does the PR firm have in your sector?
What do their current and past clients say about them?

I love that last question because to date, we have several clients that MACIAS PR has worked with for years. I think more important, we don’t even have a written agreement anymore. Our clients trust us and we trust them.

Thank you flowers from a Client

Earlier this month, MACIAS PR got a token of appreciation from one of our clients. See the picture of flowers in our office? We got those flowers from a client who we have worked with for more than 2 years.

When was the last time you sent flowers as a thank you to a client? I don’t say this to brag. I share these flowers with you to let you know that MACIAS PR puts our clients first in everything.

When our team secures a publicity or news story for a client – we celebrate with you. We know our business will only succeed with your business growth. It’s a relationship that you can best experience with a fellow business owner.

Posted on October 14, 2018 by Mark Macias

NEW YORK, October 10, 2018 (Newswire.com) – For the fourth year in a row, MACIAS PR is recognized as one of the best PR firms in the USA. The award is based on media and branding campaigns it led for clients in healthcare, technology, financial and nonprofit sectors.

This latest recognition comes from the ACQ5 Global Awards, which named MACIAS PR the 2018 Strategic PR Firm of the Year – USA. The award is given by PR and marketing peers based on media deliverables, industry expertise, and creativity.

More than 120,000 firms and publicists were nominated around the globe. MACIAS PR was the only marketing and PR firm selected for the award.

This is the second year in a row that MACIAS PR was named the ACQ5 Strategic PR Firm of the Year. In 2017 and 2016, journalists with Finance Monthly named MACIAS PR the Financial PR Firm of the Year – USA and the 2015 PR Consultant Firm of the Year.

The founder of MACIAS PR – Mark Macias – said the firm’s strategy is rooted in journalism, editorial and programming principles that lead to coverage.

“MACIAS PR begins every campaign with a deeper look at the news and editorial value of the product or service we are promoting,” said Macias. “Journalism is the foundation behind every PR campaign we launch. It’s one of the reasons why we consistently secure top-tier media placements for our clients across industries. We understand the elements needed for a strong news story or feature. It’s not fluff with us.”

PR Accomplishments that Led to “Strategic PR Firm of the Year” Award

MACIAS PR secured prominent news stories for its clients with CNBC, People Magazine, ABC 6 in Philadelphia, Forbes, Men’s Health Magazine, CBS News and others over the last 12 months.

Macias was also quoted as a PR, branding, and crisis communications expert in several publications, including CNBC, Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald, Media Post.

In July, CNBC turned to MACIAS PR for crisis advice involving one of the country’s largest pizza chains – Papa Johns. Macias told their readers how the crisis could have been better handled with a pro-active approach (link to story). Macias expanded on that story with a blog on the firm’s website, giving business owners and CEOs more in-depth crisis advice (crisis advice article).

New Clients in Healthcare, Consumer Tech, and Politics

MACIAS PR continued to grow in 2018 with new clients in politics, healthcare, digital health, entertainment, and tech. The firm launched and led media and branding campaigns for a general election Congressional campaign, consumer tech product, a new dating app and one of the country’s fastest-growing digital health platforms.

MACIAS PR also launched a marketing and media campaign for a new Off-Broadway play on the final hours of Elvis Presley’s life – “The King, The Final Hours” – which opens in New York City on Oct. 17.

Macias says the publicity his firm secured for the play has helped drive early ticket sales. The play has been featured on NY1, Brooklyn Eagle, Broadway Box, Rock and Roll Globe, Broadway World, Talkin Broadway, and others. Macias says his firm will expand into theater PR and marketing beginning in 2019.

“It’s getting harder for businesses to navigate this complicated media landscape,” said Macias. “You need an experienced and proven media strategist to stand out from the clutter. Our team is always working hard to make sure our clients get the best coverage that continually converts to revenue, sales and downloads.”
