It has been a big year for the team

At WordStorm and we are feeling settled and happy in our new office, based in Sydney’s Surry Hills.   If you haven’t been here yet, why don’t you pop in when you are next in the area?  The space, light and funky fit out are very conducive to creative thinking and we are enjoying the interaction with journalists from News Limited, who are based on the same street as us.

I’m delighted to present you with the launch of the bi-monthly edition of NewsStorm.  We will offer you interesting reading about dynamic people, events and industry news.  We will also provide tips about how you can most effectively maximize PR in your business.

Yours in Storming,  Monica and the WordStorm team

How can your business benefit from publicity

If you ask most businesses owners what they can do more of, their answer is likely to be additional exposure to their target market. In order to achieve this, businesses need sufficient funds to implement a consistent and effective advertising campaign.
However many businesses don’t realise that they can be achieving copious amounts of free media attention through a very creative and clever targeted marketing method called publicity.  Some of you may be virgins to the idea of publicity, whilst others may be extremely familiar with the concept.
