Media Relations

Whether you know it or not, the media is your number one audience, because through the media, you reach the people you really want to influence.

At SM&, we have a long history of placing clients' names and stories in the outlets that matter through feature articles, ghost-writing and placing compelling op-eds, or seizing breaking news to elevate thought leaders. We are dogged in our pursuit of coverage and aided by the strong, long-term reporter and editorial board relationships that we have developed over decades in the industry. Our experience and passion makes us adept at penetrating the media that your audiences and their influencers follow. We will get your message out there, and we'll be smart about it.

Before we even approach the journalists, editors and other media representatives, we take the time to clearly understand your goals and develop a strategic approach that aligns your needs with the coverage we'll secure. We tailor our strategy for your goals and implement tactics designed to reach your targeted audiences in the media they're already consuming-including virtual outlets like blogs and online communities.

If you have many relationships to manage on your end, don't worry. We pride ourselves on being excellent collaborators and can coordinate our efforts with your leadership, many departments and/or partners.

Our track record is evidenced in our awards and case studies. Feel free to see for yourself.
