Pitching the Media During Holiday Week

Things are notoriously slow for many businesses during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. However, as many of us know, this slow week can provide a golden opportunity for getting your clients in the news.

One agency who we know will be firing out the pitches: 5WPR, as CEO Ronn Torossian emphatically notes in his blog.
