Don’t put all your media relations eggs in one basket. Savvy communicators all know the benefits of a well-placed story in the media. Earned media can be wildly successful at raising awareness about your brand and enhancing your credibility. By effectively merchandising media hits on digital platforms, you can amplify that success even more.
