Getting attention from the technology and business press isn't easy for small tech companies or start ups, even with the coolest new product or technology.  And many emerging technology firms don't have the resources for a more established public relations agency or a senior PR manager.

That's where Madison Alexander PR comes in.  We're seasoned, experienced, and senior technology communications professionals who get results for our start up and small technology company clients.  We help companies build mindshare, communicate their critical messages, and get exposure in the analyst community and in the press.  With so many companies trying to navigate the new social media platforms, we're helping clients develop corporate blogs and active Twitter accounts. We're building business Facebook pages and LinkedIn communities. And we're using interactive communications features on news websites to immediately connect our clients to breaking news or set a record straight.

Our excellent reputation with key industry influencers and a strong track record of success and achievement is earned by delivering on what we promise -- powerful news angles and resources to help reporters put together a good story.  Additionally, the agency has had tremendous success in building effective social media channels for our clients helping them develop blogs, Facebook pages, LinkedIn pages and an active Twitter presence. Traditional PR efforts serve as the fuel for our clients' social media fire.

With marketing budgets tightening in today's tough economy, Madison Alexander PR has become the go-to technology PR resource of choice for clients seeking to reduce PR agency costs without sacrificing results. We can build programs to fit the tightest of marketing budgets and our experienced teams work efficiently and effectively to get the best results possible.

In the age of email, SMS, Skype, cell phones and Blackberry PDAs, nothing beats a face to face meeting. 

During OATH's June face to face meeting, Dan Chmielewski and Joann Killeen of MA-PR paid a visit to the Washington Post for a meeting with Sam Diaz, assistant technology editor.   Click the link for a photo.  We also caught up with Howard Bryant, a former tech writer for the Mercury News.  Howard now covers the Washington Redskins for the Post.  His book, "Juicing The Game," about Steroids in Baseball is an outstanding read. 

Building good relationships with the press and analyst community is fast becoming a lost art.  Too many executives want an immediate bang for the buck and an immediate story from any interview they do.  But sitting down with a reporter to talk about trends that impact the industry and affect your company without the expectation of a story, can lead to significantly more coverage down the road.  Think of PR in terms of gardening.  You need to plant seeds of stories ideas, cultivate the journalist, answer the questions, and in time, your company's name  is tied to that partiuclar industry.

It just requires a little patience.

Blogs and podcasting are all the rage; almost anyone can be a journalist.  Interacting with bloggers and podcasters isn't the rocket science that some agencies make it out to be.  If you want to start a blog or a podcast, we can help and we can offer ideas for ongoing content.   Madison Alexander PR is helping OATH set up its blog through IT Securtiy.com.

 

PR can be a powerful tool for lead generation in eMarketing campaigns.  Madison Alexander PR can help you develop a strong eMarketing infrastructure and create content that brings qualified inquiries to your site.  Call 949-231-2965 for an introductory meeting to build a custom program that fits your needs.

News releases are not just for the press.  They are tools used to communicate important developments in a company to an organization’s key publics.  They generate tremendous traffic to a company’s Web site. 

While it’s important to develop news releases with a strong news-writing style that meets standards of reporters, editors and analysts that clearly demonstrates strong news value, it’s equally important to craft the announcement with the critical key words needed to boost search engine optimization.

We can show you how to do it.  Contact Madison Alexander PR for details at
