Top Tech and Healthcare PR Firm, MACIAS PR, Releases Q1 Publicity Report

NEW YORK, April 4, 2019 (Newswire.com) - The top tech and healthcare PR firm — MACIAS PR — has released its first quarter publicity report, detailing the media coverage it secured for clients from January to March 2019.

In January, MACIAS PR secured a TV segment with the top-rated morning show, the NBC Today Show, the showcased the world’s first smart belt, reaching more than 1.4 million viewers across the country. Over the course of the media campaign, MACIAS PR also secured publicity for the health tech client on Entrepreneur, USA Today, Forbes and others.

Many business owners and founders want a quote before they hop on a call. I get it. I'm a business owner too and don't want to waste my time unless I know the cost and return on investment. But PR isn't building widgets. It requires a deeper understanding of your PR goals; is it a B2B or B2C campaign; how strong is your initial story-line; do you have any data to reinforce trends; all of these factors contribute to cost. The FreePRQuote.com allows businesses to get a customized quote based on those answers.

Mark Macias, Founder of MACIAS PR

Mark Macias, the founder of the firm, says their team took over this media campaign after the previous PR firm failed to secure publicity.

"We turned this consumer product into a news story – and that led to more coverage," said Macias. "The media won't run a commercial or advertisement in their news coverage. This campaign required a subtle sell that positioned their consumer product as the world's first smart belt that was delivering weight loss results for consumers based on a study we found."

MACIAS PR also secured prominent news coverage for their other clients.

Kiplinger Magazine is one of the largest consumer finance publications. In March, MACIAS PR placed an in-depth article in the April issue that was also featured online. The Kiplinger story positioned its health tech client as a consumer expert on prescription medications. The Chicago Tribune and the Houston Herald published similar articles that sourced the mobile app as a source for saving money.

CBS 2 in New York broadcast a different TV angle that featured the mobile app as a solution for avoiding dangerous drug interactions. MACIAS PR was able to syndicate that segment to other CBS affiliates, securing more publicity for the mobile app in Denver and Pittsburgh.

MACIAS PR rounded out the first quarter with more media placements in Women's Health, Business Insider, Good Housekeeping, Health.com and others.
