Client Case Study – Former UN Executive Director on Climate

Posted on by Mark Macias

Media campaigns for politicians can be some of the most difficult campaigns to run. Journalists are skeptical of politicians, knowing they are pushing an agenda. No reporter wants to be a tool for propaganda.

MACIAS PR has run media campaigns for Congressional candidates across New York, Virginia, Arizona, Illinois, Oregon and California. With all of these campaigns, we secured local and national media coverage for these candidates by identifying news angles that were timely and topical. 

In 2022, MACIAS PR took an international jump on the global stage by representing the former UN Executive Director on Climate Change.

Posted on by Mark Macias

The top tech public relations firm, MACIAS PR, has updated The Publicity App to include interactive features to help politicians improve their chances of getting on the local news.

Political strategist and former journalist, Mark Macias, says The Publicity App will give political candidates a new digital tool to help them identify news angles for local reporters.

  • Political Publicity
  • Story Telling
  • Crisis Management
  • Political Fundraising
  • Online and SEO Campaign
  • Event Promotion

The Publicity App is free to download on iOS and Android. It also includes a personalized calculator that gives PR Estimates to political candidates who are curious how much a campaign will cost for their campaign. The Publicity App will deliver a customized PR proposal – complete with cost – after a PR estimate is requested.
