A press article is much more credible than an advertisement or a direct mailing. Because an article is written by a journalist, the reader will give more credence to its content. The fact that your company is mentioned is a definite asset and the first step towards a high-profile image. Press articles enhance the visibility of your company, your products and your services, not only in the eyes of existing or potential clients but also in the market at large.
Through the publication of articles that mention your company, your existing clients will feel reassured in their choice of a provider and the market will benefit from a more accurate idea of what you have to offer. This gives you a higher profile which you can translate into increased commercial success. An active communication policy vis-Ã -vis the press enables you to put forward your message in your own terms. Thanks to effective communication with the press, published articles will bring home your message to the public, faithfully reflecting what you set out to say. Of course, this is a long-term strategy. Communication with the press is something that has to be built over a period of time. Journalists cannot become familiar with your company overnight. Your visibility will only increase significantly once your company has been mentioned repeatedly in the press.

Depending on the sector and developments on the ground) For each folder sent, we personally contact the relevant journalists and assist them in writing their articles so as to optimise the impact of the information that concerns you.
In order to monitor the articles that are published, we work together with a specialised external agency. The latter reviews all publications and, on the basis of a number of key search words, selects those which are most likely to concern you. We then examine these press cuttings and forward them to you on a regular basis (as frequently as requested).
A press review provides a quick and convenient method of finding out what is being published. Of course such a collection of press cuttings is not the sole result of our work. The fact that your company is known to a growing number of people is also a major result, albeit not an easily quantifiable one.
