For decades, publicists have prided themselves on getting their clients quoted in the biggest circulation and most popular publications possible. While that’s certainly a focus at Inkandescent Public Relations, we know that times have changed. Going hyper-local is important, as is having a presence in the social media sphere.
While our clients are regularly featured in such newspapers of record as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Times of London, US News & World Report, Money magazine, Washington Post, and Philadelphia Inquirer — we also get them quoted in Patch.com, Yahoo.com, AOL.com, and newspapers and magazines that circulate in their communities. Radio and TV is also a popular spot for Inkandescent clients, who have been interviewed on the CBS “Early Show,” NBC News, Fox News, “CNN Money,” “The Kojo Nnamdi Show,” and Federal News Radio, among others.

Inkandescent PR also has thousands of friends, followers, and contacts in the social media world, where we regularly get the word out about our clients. Friend us today: www.facebook.com.
Our team of writers and designers has worked as journalists for decades, and we bring our decades of experience to the work we do for our clients. Creating well-written, interesting, and engaging monthly (and sometimes weekly) newsletters is the key to getting the word out to clients on a regular basis. It not only shows them your expertise and keeps them abreast of the good work you are doing — it reminds them of your work, which will encourage them to reach out to you. Whether it be a brief and simple 3-article newsletter, or a multi-page blast packed with thought-provoking articles, these newsletters are an effective way to drive business to your firm.

What makes a good press release? A great story. That’s how we write press releases about our clients’ new books and events, interesting projects, new services, and original ideas. Using our experience as journalists, we pull out the information we know will appeal to other reporters — then pick the important details and write up the press release as we would an article. It’s not a magic formula. It’s simply an authentic, newsworthy approach.
