People often wonder why some companies get frequent mentions in the media, while others rarely get press coverage or interviews.

The key, besides the relevance of your story in terms of time, lies in press contacts.

Press releases are an important way to get visibility in the media. If you write good press releases and send them to the right media, you can significantly increase your media visibility.

It's also important to update your press releases regularly. For example, if you are launching a new product line, you should draft a press release and send it to the media to cover it.

Social media campaigns are also a great way to get visibility in the media. Create interesting content and share it through your social media channels. This is a great way to gain new followers and increase your visibility.

In conclusion, press releases are an important part of any media campaign. If you write good press releases, send them to the right media and create social media campaigns, you can significantly increase your media visibility.
