Public Relations

 

PUBLIC RELATIONS

 

Few companies have ever made it to the big time without publicizing their services. When it comes to publicity, though, there is far more to it than writing a press release and distributing it to the media. Making a company well known and well liked requires the connections and foresight to be at the right place, at the right time. At Strategic Vantage our relationships and credibility in our industry are among the most important foundations of our continued success. We have strong, long-standing relationships with reporters, conference organizers and industry influencers. Those key relationships enable us to secure valuable exposure to enhance our clients’ image and credibility, while catching the eye of both prospects and customers alike.

PUBLICITY

 

We continually secure our clients positive publicity in the media outlets of their choice, whether those are print, TV, radio or online in the national, local or trade press.

 

“Strategic Vantage is the best damn PR outfit in the mortgage space,

bar none. Period. End of story.”

Lew Sichelman

Syndicated Housing Columnist

WRITING

 

Writers are plentiful. On the other hand, it’s rare to find talented writers who truly understand the mortgage and financial services space, and know how to leverage that knowledge for marketing, social media and public relations purposes. That makes all the difference in the world– and that’s where we come in. All Strategic Vantage account professionals are not only skilled writers, they also have many years of mortgage banking and financial services industry expertise. Our staff routinely writes articles, white papers, press releases, sales presentations, content for websites, brochures, advertising text– even full-length books on our industry. In fact, our writers are so well respected by editors that you’ll often find feature articles in leading magazines and newspapers that were authored by our own staff.
