Media Relations & Outreach
Working effectively with members of the media is one of Maroon PR’s core competencies. Through our years of experience we have established strong relationships with local, regional and national media and now those relationships work to benefit our clients.
Members of the media receive dozens of press releases and phone calls from public relations professionals every day. Without strong and trusting relationships these inquiries are largely ignored and passed over. Maroon PR has successfully landed features about their clients in hundreds of media outlets including The Today Show, Fox News Channel, the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, the Associated Press, CBS Sunday Morning, ESPN, ESPN Radio and ESPN.com, The Huffington Post, the Chronicle of Philanthropy and more.
In addition, as the media world has evolved we have evolved with it, working with popular and influential bloggers and online reporters.
Earned media placements and a strategic media plan can help an organization build its brand, increase its revenue and drive traffic to websites and events.
"As a sportswriter, I’ve been on the receiving end of pitches from marketing people for years. But I’d never tried pitching anything myself until I published my first book, “One Helluva Ride: How NASCAR Swept the Nation,” and found I lacked both the muscle and expertise. Maroon PR provided exactly what I needed: the savvy, connections and energy to get my book in the hands of influential broadcast journalists. And they were a joy to work with--principled, personable and great fun."

John Maroon and the Maroon PR team were incredible to work with during the campaign for the U.S. Department of Labor. Our goal with the campaign was to promote the employment of people with disabilities throughout the United States. From the Little League World Series in Pennsylvania, to Anaheim Stadium in California, Maroon PR was able to help spread the word, attract attention, and promote our efforts throughout the country. They are truly a great company to work with.
