We prioritized attending informative meetings, supporting client presentations, producing impactful video content, and connecting with familiar faces and new peers alike. The key takeaway?

A common misconception about public relations is that the goal is always to put your business front and center. While that kind of spotlight can be rewarding, the most sustainable and media-friendly way to show up in the news cycle is to contribute to it meaningfully. Reporters aren’t experts on every issue they cover. They rely on thoughtful, articulate professionals who can add value, explain nuance, and provide credibility to a story. That is why reporters are constantly on the hunt to build a go-to list of experts they know they can rely on. 

And that’s where you can come in. Whether you're a lawyer, doctor, professor, or entrepreneur, stepping into that space isn’t driven by self-promotion. Your goal is to thoughtfully become a part of the public conversation. When your name appears in a trusted publication or newscast as a credible voice, it strengthens your reputation and reinforces your expertise in the eyes of your audience.

That’s where the strategy behind newsjacking is ad...

So you’ve done it, your PR team has secured a big win for your company. Now what? Media coverage is a huge step forward, but it can't be the final destination. Most companies stop after a story publishes, but a successful integrated marketing team knows how to prolong the momentum. With a strategic approach, one media mention can mean more visibility, deeper engagement, and lasting value. Here is what needs to happen once a story runs:

Share the Coverage Across Channels

When an article or interview runs, it must be shared across your existing communication channels. That includes your website, email newsletter, and social media. Don't stop there, though.

You can highlight significant quotes by using graphics, write a blog post recapping the story, or create short videos quoting the main points. This makes the message visible to more people in different ways.

Inform Your Team and Stakeholders

Media coverage needs to be shared with your staff to keep them informed and motivated. It ...

In the world of personal injury law, there's a long-standing stereotype: the billboard lawyer. Every time someone drives down the highway, they’re greeted by oversized ads and bus wraps featuring lawyers promoting car accident help, slip-and-fall claims, and everything in between. While this traditional marketing method offers visibility, it’s also impersonal and forgettable.

 In a crowded market, how do personal injury firms truly stand out and take their practice to the next level? It all lies in strategic public relations. Public relations is the strategic practice of managing how a firm is perceived by the public through earned media, brand storytelling, and relationship-building with the press and community.

The Limitations of Billboards and Paid Ads

Billboards and paid placements certainly have their place in a marketing mix, but they don’t build lasting credibility. Consumers often forget faces, phone numbers, and taglines as soon as they pass the next exit. Plus, these ads d...

For decades, word-of-mouth referrals have been the lifeblood of many Tampa law firms. A trusted client recommendation has long been a golden ticket for securing new business. But in 2025, relying solely on reputation whispers isn’t enough. In an age of Google searches, digital-first impressions, and media-driven trust, law firms must take a more proactive approach to public relations (PR) to remain relevant and competitive.

The Digital Shift in Legal Visibility

Think about how most people find a lawyer today. It starts with a problem - and a search engine. Prospective clients are no longer waiting for a cousin’s coworker’s recommendation. They’re typing "business attorney Tampa" into Google. They’re skimming reviews, checking social media, and evaluating credibility based on what appears in the first five seconds of online exposure.

This digital behavior means that if your law firm doesn’t have a clear, consistent, and compelling presence online, you risk being invisible. That’s whe...

When it comes to the international disputes arena, the legal landscape is undergoing rapid and consequential change. Treaties are unraveling overnight, new tariffs are emerging almost overnight, and sanctions are expanding in response to rising geopolitical tensions. Just as swiftly as the global order shifts, attorneys in the field should be just as strategic in how they cultivate visibility and public authority. Journalists turn to sources they trust, trust that was built through timely engagement and strong relationships, both with the media and the public. That’s where media relations comes in.

A smart public relations strategy combines earned media with organic reach across platforms like LinkedIn, where attorneys can amplify their insights and stay visible between news cycles. A strong integrated marketing partner helps make that happen, turning legal expertise into sustained influence.
