When you’ve been on the block as long as we have, you start to get a sixth sense for when a story is going to go from the periphery to the spotlight. One such opportunity came in on Monday, when we got wind of a story that phones may lead paper passports to be redundant. This was following a French firm’s decision to begin developing digital passports.
We immediately brewed an industrial amount of coffee and forwarded the news to our clients, asking for comments to come in double quick-time. Thankfully we work with some fantastic companies, who agreed this was a good story to be part of the conversation on and were able to get top-quality insights to us in a snap. The Eskenzi team was soon armed with expert comments and so we began targeting our friends in the press.
Going the extra mile first thing on a Monday is never easy, but we soon began to see the results. By lunchtime we’d secured our clients coverage in the Daily Mail, the Telegraph and the International Business Times. It wasn’t long before the tech press picked up on the comments and we started seeing some familiar names appearing in InfoSecurity Magazine, IT Pro Portal and Information Security Buzz. We realised we were onto something when Fortune Magazine picked up the story and included our clients!
Not bad for a Monday morning, but we didn’t think that we’d gotten the most out of the comments, and after some more targeted outreach, we saw our clients’ names appearing again and again as the story took off. All told, we secured placement in over 50 publications – here’s the full list:
