Embedding your message in editorial credibility is extremely valuable. Print may be a ‘vintage’ platform, but all major MI and Pro Audio magazines have digital channels – and many have huge social media followings – you can tap into.
In short, PR with a combined focus on print, digital and social is now more important than ever.
I have built strong relationships with key MI and Pro Audio editors and often use creative approaches in a mix of editorial, surrounding social content, competitions, etc. to stretch the momentum.
