The "power of public relations" is a great way to build your brand.
The power of PR will dwarf the ROI on advertising and many marketing efforts.
For example, a 150-word news brief about a Nashville-based logistics firm resulted in $5 million in new reoccurring revenue after a Florida executive at another company read the brief and hired the firm.
This business opportunity formed because a news item about a company carries three times the credibility and has six times the visibility of an advertisement.
