Founded in 1991, Media First Public Relations creates brands, increases brand value and influences opinions and markets using the most visible and credible medium: the news.

Working with large private, mid-cap and Fortune 1000 public companies, we raise the profile and value of our clients by helping them become industry leaders and spokespeople on the trends, issues and problems shaping their markets. By partnering with our clients in a strategic, news-oriented view, we help them become reliable experts for influential news outlets such as CNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Forbes, Fortune, BusinessWeek, The Washington Post and many others.

As part of The Hill & Knowlton network, we are able to manage global programs down to the local level to help clients create media and communications programs that help them achieve their top business objectives.

Through a strategic media relations program, we have helped companies:

• Establish positioning and messaging
• Market and deliver messages to target audiences and stakeholders
• Increase brand awareness and brand value
• Reach sales goals
• Protect and build shareholder value
• Prepare an exit strategy

Any company has the opportunity to establish its market position, or effect change on an issue through commentary on industry issues in the right top-tier and influential media.

In addition, we help find the best sources to deliver the messages that will best improve the business climate for clients.

We believe the best way to help a company deliver its message through the media is for us to work with the media as a team. Our basic belief is that we value the media as our client. Over the years, we have developed long-standing relationships with reporters, editors and producers with whom we work on a daily basis to develop story lines and find the best sources.
