How Top Tech PR Firms Help Reach Targeted Audience

Posted on September 20, 2019 by Mark Macias

It’s great to have a product or service that is for the masses, but when it comes to the media, your campaign will be more successful if you narrow down the target. The more targeted a media campaign, the better ROI it will bring to your business.

Just recently, we secured a profile story on our Congressional client on People en Español. This wasn’t just any media placement with the Spanish media – it was one that was extremely targeted and strategic on our end.

Our Congressional client wanted to reach the Latinx community so that she could introduce her brand to them. This is why we created a unique profile story on her and reached out to reporters with the largest Spanish readership in the US – People en Español – which reaches 7.1 million Latinx readers every month.

This media placement is a perfect example of how our team works to secure targeted press coverage. We consistently introduce our clients to the public, getting their story told to the consumers they specifically want to reach.

Even though our stories vary by industry, we never push promotional material to reporters. It’s a critical differentiator that separates MACIAS PR from other PR firms. We only sell the news story that positions our client in the center of it.

Location Matters when Searching for Best PR Firms

Posted on September 6, 2019 by Mark Macias

Are you looking for the top local PR firms in your city? Or maybe, you think a PR agency on the West Coast is better for your business. If you’re looking for national exposure, you will need to pivot and take a closer look at New York City.

It’s true that publicists can pitch reporters from anywhere. However, PR firms on the East Coast generally have an advantage with the national media. Why? Because location matters when it comes to the media – and New York CIty is the media capital of the world.

Local PR Firms vs National PR Firms

The national news and tech outlets – from TV to print – largely run on East Coast time. Editorial meetings start at 9am EST – a time when most West Coast publicists are still asleep, or just getting out of bed.

The best PR firms are also on top of the news cycle. When the news cycle is established in the morning, publicists on the same time zone have more time to position your brand or business into the news cycle while it’s still fresh.

If you look closely at the photo above, MACIAS PR is positioned right in the center of the media capital of the world – right next to the Empire State Building. Our location in the heart of New York City didn’t happen coincidentally. It was strategic, and plays a critical factor behind the success of our firm.

We work closely with our clients to develop the strongest narrative that is newsworthy and ignites intrigue with journalists and consumers not just in New York City, but around the world.
