‘Catalyst PR led by the dynamic Mr Ramkumar, along with his highly talented team, proved that it’s the story value and the strength of the pitch’ that attracts good media coverage.
The team crafted an effective PR strategy particularly around the Symphonic poem, as it was the first of its kind in India. They created interesting news value with virtual press briefings, which was as impactful as a live face to face press conference. It was followed by one-on-one media interactions, once again using virtual technology, thereby generating quality media articles and stories.
