Thought Leadership that Gives Brands a Boost
Background
In December 2010, Forbes CIO Central published an article titled “Can IT Cope with Empowered End Users?”—an ahead-of-its-time exploration of how IT leaders could adapt infrastructure and culture to meet the demands of mobile-savvy users.
This feature placement in Forbes exemplified the type of elite B2B media positioning that Nexus PR’s Principal & Founder, Bridget Jackson, has long championed:
- Ideas grounded in industry expertise
- Messaging crafted for tech-savvy leadership audiences
- Precision pitching to top-tier trade media
That early success reflects the foundation of Nexus PR’s approach: strategic, insight-led storytelling that resonates with decision-makers.
The Challenge
Securing feature placements in selective business media outlets like Forbes CIO Central requires more than standard press release distribution. It demands:
- A deep understanding of editorial priorities and story framing that speaks directly to senior decision-makers (CIOs, executives, industry leaders).
- The ability to create content that is both timely and evergreen.
- Strategic media relationships built on credibility and trust, ensuring pitches are taken seriously.
Bridget’s success in placing the Forbes feature demonstrates how Nexus PR consistently meets these benchmarks—through content expertise, editorial insight, and long-term media engagement.
- Nexus PR leverages decades of B2B communications expertise to secure elite media placements.
- Thought leadership strategies are data-driven, forward-thinking, and editorially relevant.
- Clients benefit from feature-length visibility in top-tier outlets like Forbes, amplifying authority and brand trust.
Solution: A Time-Tested Methodology
Fast forward to today—under the Nexus PR banner, Bridget applies that proven methodology to help modern clients achieve powerful visibility.
