Client Case Study for Nonprofit – 2023 Media Placements

Posted on by Mark Macias

You’re only as good as your last media campaign, and that proof is always in the client case study. In the case with the national nonprofit, NPower, we are now on our 7th year of working together, so every year brings new highlights. The organization has expanded into new markets every year we have worked together.

This is a great nonprofit with a mission that is close to my heart. The organization provides free tech training to young adults and military veterans from underserved communities with the purpose of bringing diversity to tech. Their students are typically young adults who may not get a chance to go to college.

I was fortunate to go to Arizona State University while living at home. I proudly put myself through college while working 3 jobs at local newspapers. Whatever their editors asked, I was the first to raise my hand for the assignment, which led to me receiving the national Pulliam Fellowship award as a graduating senior. I know how much this program means to its students.

In 2023, our media coverage for this organization included TV segments in Houston, San Antonio, Raleigh/Durham and Dayton, Ohio. These were all new expansion markets in 2023. We also secured profile stories in each of these new markets with the local newspapers. You can see more targeted local and national media placements by clicking on the link below.

Hire a Generalist or Specialist PR Agency? Analysis on Approach

Posted on by Mark Macias

MACIAS PR has run media and branding campaigns for clients across industries: health care, technology, nonprofits, real estate, politics. In multiple ways, we have taken a generalist and specialist PR to each campaign – based on the need.

Despite the diversity of clients, one common thread remains consistent. We have delivered top tier media placements for our clients with the most influential news organizations.

It doesn’t matter if our clients are promoting the latest tech wearable, pushing a cause or selling health services to businesses. We have relationships with media outlets and reporters in all of these industries.

Generalist or Specialist PR Agency

Potential clients frequently assume that a specialist PR agency from their specific industry will deliver better results.

In my experiences inside the media and as the owner of this PR agency, I’d say the better framed question revolves around how much each PR agency knows about your industry.

I’ve written extensively for Forbes on what to look for when hiring a publicist. You can read that thought leadership here. And whether it is better to hire an East Coast, West Coast or local PR firm. (Read that insight here)

Regardless of your industry, I frequently tell my friends if I had to hire a PR agency for my firm, I’d always go with the generalist who understands my industry.

This generalist approach always gives MACIAS PR an advantage with reporters. Our team speaks with dozens or reporters and producers on any given day. This exposure gives us more opportunities to repackage and sell other clients’ stories on these calls.

But don’t take my word for it. Instead, evaluate our media deliverables.

You can read our client case studies from different industries on the following links: health care, technology, mobile apps, consumer wearables, real estate, nonprofits, physicians, consumer services, B2B health tech and politics.
