Gone are the days of press release, pick-up, repeat. The market is more crowded and the competition more vast. And today’s newsrooms are smaller than ever. If you are looking for results, your PR arm (that’s us) needs muscle. While traditional public relations still has Marketwave’s heart, we now play journalist and publish our own stories through a strong and strategic content strategy while we push for news coverage to hit. And we love to repurpose stellar content so that it not only makes headlines but also surfaces in newsletters, social media, presentations, and video messages as well.

<p>Since only 6% of Americans own horses and far less are actively seeking a new one, our team recognized we needed to put together a compelling marketing and public relations campaign that moved beyond the state borders of Kentucky where the first Extreme Mustang Makeover (EMM) was taking place and reached surrounding states to find well-qualified adopters. The Mustang Heritage Foundation puts on several Extreme Mustang Makeover events per year in its effort to educate the public about America’s wild mustang population problem and find newly trained horses permanent homes. The EMM visited Lexington, KY, with its first event with a goal of adopting out 100 horses.</p>
