The Evolution of Earned Media

In the dynamic world of public relations, understanding the nuances of earned media is more crucial than ever. Unlike paid or owned media, earned media stands out as the gold standard of credibility and authenticity in brand promotion. It refers to the publicity a brand receives through efforts not directly paid for or controlled by the brand itself. This could range from a journalist's favorable article in a leading publication to glowing customer reviews shared across social media platforms.

Celebrating Client Success at the 2024 PRSA Renaissance Awards

This year's PRSA Pittsburgh Renaissance Awards, held Jan. 25 at the Fairmont Pittsburgh, celebrated the power of storytelling and innovation. It was an evening where remarkable work was recognized, and we couldn't be prouder of the honors that our clients and teams received. Eat'n Park's corporate history, "The Story Behind the Smile", Kingspan Insulated Panels' 2022 Sustainability Report, and our very own "Day in the Life" drone video were shining stars of the evening. Our motto at Pipitone is expect GREAT, and each of these projects lived up to that promise.
