• companies that are committed to  “green” environment solutions
• contains all elements of an interesting people story
• localize a national news issue or holiday 
• goodwill ventures including launching a fundraising drive

Name-branding, building and maintenance takes more than marketing & advertising. Public relations, an under-utilized mode-of-operation, should be an essential part of any business plan. Earn industry respectability & credibility. Public relations is an effective tool for an organization to create and maintain a positive image.
