Getting Press In National Business Pubs Wsj, Forbe
My company (an architectural/engineering firm) has doubled in size in 3 years, reached the over 1k employee mark, completed 2 acquisitions with cash, hasn't drawn on credit, is designing the only 3 auto plants in the US, over 50% of our work is in the renewable energy market (although our clients are very confidential and won't let us talk about the projects specifically), our 3 yr old China office is now our 3rd largest - soon to be our 2nd. Our HQ is in the rust belt. It's our 60th anniversary. I have to believe that in this economy this is newsworthy on a national level. I'm just not sure what the best way is to go about finding the angle or the hook and I'm quite certain reporters at that level don't want a weak pitch, or have the time to figure out how to stitch this all together. I feel the quotes from PR firms to make this happen are unreasonable. Any suggestions on how to flush the story out and make something happen?
