The Press and PR Package

Breaking Chains with Targeted PR

PRESS AND PR PACKAGE

McKerns Development and PR uses strategic PR to promote the company and its products, people and services. The Strategy for the PR is designed to specifically incorporate company goals, both short and long term.

What is the Press and PR Package?

McKerns Development and PR creates, writes and places press specifically promoting your goals for your business, pitching on-target press releases and writing feature stories about the business using trending topics generating high readership and interest in online and print magazines, blogs and the press and promoting mutually identified goals. (The publication or media outlet has a readership interested in your subject matter and your content is written in the exact way to generate readership, interest and sharing through social media and the internet.)

Your firm (services, people, and products) gets known for the projects and expertise you have or are developing and would like to continue. Note: While it is possible to issue a single press release, it is a superior approach to be seen in the media as a consistent and relevant source of news, and this is why the package is most often secured as a 12 month plan.
