Media Relations | MAINSTREAM

According to Muck Rack’s State of PR 2022 survey, relationships with journalists remain a top priority in PR. 70% of specialists are focused on establishing it.

Effective Media Relations result in an integral perception of the brand by stakeholders, including journalists, editors, and opinion leaders, a trusting attitude towards you and your company, and the correspondence of the desired media image to the real one.
