Project: Publicize Name Change, New Product Launch, Generate Publicity, Win 2nd Round Funding

iMedeon hired MediaFirst PR–Atlanta because of first-hand knowledge and experience in the target industries of telecom, utilities, and information technology.

iMedeon needed great press and analyst coverage to succeed in their quest to stay ahead of their competition. We created visibility, through consistent efforts, in quality trade and technical magazines, radio, and weekly/daily newspapers. By securing press appointments at select trade shows, iMedeon met face-to-face with reporters, editors, and analysts who cover their industries, resulting in a positive perception of iMedeon. With our strategy to deliver newsworthy information packaged in the right story idea and positioned for the appropriate media got iMedeon an incredible amount of great press. We developed a list of speaking opportunities and managed these opportunities, e.g, by crafting speaker's abstracts to secure speaking slots for iMedeon executives at top-level trade shows and conferences
