Metzger Albee Wins 2015 Public Relations Campaign of the Year

    BOULDER, CO, May 20, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Metzger Albee Public Relations, one of the nation's first technology public relations and digital marketing agencies, has won Campaign of the Year for its work with IT security client Coalfire Systems in the Business Intelligence Group's 2015 Public Relations Excellence Awards.

To generate awareness for Coalfire, the team at Metzger Albee designed a campaign to react and respond in real-time to ongoing cybersecurity news. The team's approach paired company thought leaders with reporters covering breaches and other IT risk management issues. As a result, Coalfire and its security experts were featured in top-tier outlets and trade publications yielding a signifiant increase in media coverage and website traffic.

"To be recognized for this caliber of public relations work by the Business Intelligence Group is incredibly meaningful," said John Metzger, CEO, Metzger Albee Public Relations. "As our firm continues to evolve the meaning of what a modern PR agency should be, so too does our client work. In the ever-changing media landscape, with increasingly smaller newsrooms, we are constantly altering our PR approach to achieve optimal results."

The Business Intelligence Group's award program recognizes agencies, departments, campaigns and public relations professionals whose work helps to tell the stories of their clients in innovative and meaningful ways.

"Metzger Albee clearly understands the value of telling compelling stories to generate results for clients," said Russ Fordyce, managing director of the Business Intelligence Group.
