There is more to public relations than writing a press release and submitting it to the press. The best publicists truly understand what the client wishes to accomplish, and that means understanding the client’s business. At the same time, publicists should have the credibility and excellent relationships that are pivotal to success, relationships that extend beyond the press to key business executives, industry influencers, and thought leaders.
At Strategic Vantage, our relationships and credibility are second to none in our industry. In fact, they are the foundation of our continued success in our highly competitive field. That’s because we go far beyond crafting well-received press releases. We have positive, long-standing relationships which open many doors for our clients. We proactively communicate with editors and journalists to secure interviews and generate news coverage for our clients. We create opportunities for them to become published and gain valuable, positive exposure to enhance their image and credibility, while catching the eye of prospects and customers alike.
We also help clients secure speaking opportunities at relevant conferences, and have developed an excellent reputation for securing coveted industry awards. For instance, over the past three years, Strategic Vantage has secured numerous Mortgage Technology magazine awards, including:
- Wingspan Portfolio Advisors – Servicer of the Year Award, 2009
- Mortgage Builder Software – Help Desk Award, 2008
- Rapid Reporting – Fix-It Award, 2007
- Market Kinetix – Release of the Year Award, 2007
- Avista Solutions – Help Desk Award, 2007
- Ellie Mae – Synergy Award, 2006
- Overture Technologies’ Bill Kelvie – Lasting Impact Award, 2006
- Mortgage Hub’s Bill Adamowski – Steve Fraser Award, 2006
- WellFound Decade – 10X Award, 2005
Companies with high expectations have come to the right place.
“Being in the news is one thing. Being newsworthy and in the right places is the best thing. For me, Strategic Vantage has helped me remain in the news arenas that I know. In addition, Strategic Vantage has brought me to new venues, all the while enabling me to refine my message yet stay uniquely who I am. I could not have done that on my own.”
