Media Relations

"If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" It probably does, but the truth is, if no one is there to hear it, what's the difference? The same is true about your achievements. If you are not sharing them with your clients and prospects, what difference do they make?

At HBC, we understand that perception is reality. You may have a superior level of expertise or a better track record of helping clients solve their problems, but if you are not as well known as your competitors then you're probably not considered as good as them either.

A strategically guided media relations campaign is an extremely cost effective way of leveraging your success and credibly touting your achievements.

Beginning with the premise that each client is different and what works for one is not the answer for all, we achieve results by:

• Meticulously reviewing and reality testing your objectives and goals
• Carefully analyzing your target markets and determining the mediums most influential to them
• Offering strategic guidance and planning to take advantage of your strengths and mitigate your flaws
• Developing creative messages and compelling stories to highlight your achievements and expertise
• Generating highly targeted speaking opportunities to spotlight your firm's expertise in front of motivated listeners
• Training your spokespersons to be effective
• Pitching stories, placing by-lined articles, drafting and distributing press releases, organizing press conferences and media briefings
• Identifying and developing ideas and themes for marketable events (i.e. roundtables, seminars, breakfast briefings, etc.), that can be promoted to the media beforehand or generate interesting content for reporters afterwards
• Leveraging each success into even greater success for measurable results
