Ever wonder what your social media strategy says about you? If you’re like most B2B marketers, you fall into one of these categories:
The enthusiast. Your business was one of the first to have a social media strategy, and it just keeps growing. You’re everywhere, all the time, but have no idea if it’s actually working.
The non-conformist. You resist change and social media is no exception. Besides, you don’t really need a bona fide plan since it’s only a passing fad, kind of like the Internet.
The savvy executive. You partner with Dodge Communications, the healthcare industry’s leading authority on building and maintaining a dynamic social media presence. Whether generating content for a corporate blog or creating an ongoing dialogue with potential customers across multiple networks, every one of your social media efforts work together to support offline activities, enhance online visibility and deliver quantifiable results.

Henry Feintuch, President
The impact of social media on the public relations and marketing mix is profound; yet too many marketers focus on the tactics and not the strategy behind the campaign.
At Feintuch Communications, we build social media elements into client programs as appropriate — not as a separate project or expensive add-on — but as an additional channel for reaching targeted audiences. From smart blogging and LinkedIn groups to custom developed mobile apps and location-based marketing, our team has the creativity and business acumen to support b-to-b and b-to-c organizations.
We are a strategic relations firm which delivers an integrated set of public relations, investor relations, business start-ups and marketing/creative services. We call it “integrated thinking™” because each client’s business challenge isn’t always met by the same, cookie-cutter PR program.
We enjoy helping our clients think through their business challenges and develop smart solutions that help them to grow their business. We welcome the opportunity to think through your needs.

Amy Binder, CEO
At RF|Binder we believe that social and digital media plays a unique and integral role in telling a brand’s story and communicating with target audiences. We view the continuously changing communications landscape as an opportunity for us to capitalize on our core strengths - reaching and influencing audiences. With traditional media, reporters serve as gatekeepers, determining whose story is told and how. Our creative use of digital and social channels enables us to have direct conversations with these audiences.
While we recognize that all clients have unique objectives, we always begin our digital and social media programming with an understanding of the client’s digital media footprint, with a focus on answering two WHOs, a WHAT and a WHERE. WHO are the influencers? WHO are the audiences? WHAT are they saying? WHERE are their conversations happening?
By integrating our social and digital media talent with our traditional public relations expertise, we are able to quickly and effectively reach our clients’ target audiences at multiple online touch points and successfully influence their conversations. To do so, we employ online tactics that strengthen the target audience’s emotional connection with our clients’ brands while also ensuring that all communications and messaging are on-point and on-brand.
As experts in public relations, we understand how to build online communities to activate programs and amplify messaging. We diligently monitor these communities, and know how to leverage our traditional, digital and social channels to deploy an early response to any emerging developments that can impact the brand (either positively or negatively).
Our digital strategy group develops and delivers engaging content that tells our client’s stories and builds communities of brand advocates. The group’s services include digital and social media strategies, social media programs, multimedia content marketing and creation, search engine marketing, measurement and analytics.
Our clients run the gamut from venture-backed start up to global multinational corporations including edX, Talenti, Abine, Wines of Germany, Johnson & Johnson, McGraw-Hill, Loews, and Dunkin’ Donuts.

Paul Gourvitz, President-NYC
Robert Gourvitz, Producer-Los Angeles
Gourvitz Communications is now in its fourth decade as a pioneer in the broadcast public relations business. Back in the 80’s when The VNR was “all the rage,”
Gourvitz Communications was producing top quality broadcast-quality packages. Times have changed and we have adapted, coming up with new production techniques like the Co-Op SMT in which a variety of companies combine to promote their products using one studio and one spokesman. Along with Peter Hoffman and Greg Sullivan we also came up with the interactive media tour (IMT). This innovation lets us book top websites who conduct interviews with a wide array of celebrities and get an actual video interview that they can put on their site. Our interviews have an UVPM of 20 million. What you see is what you get here at Gourvitz Communications. We promise good interviews on top sites and that’s what we give you.
Our most recent invention allows companies to hold press conferences for media members who don’t have to leave their desks. We call it the Virtual Press Conference.
If you want a company that knows how to work with some of the top names in the worlds of entertainment and sports, Gourvitz Communications is a good place to go. Here are some of the names that GCI has worked with in the last few months: Allison Williams, Sophia Vergara, Eva Longoria, Jordin Sparks, Molly Simms, Cake Boss Buddy Velasco, Jay Bilas, Dwayne Wade, and Doug Flutie.
If you want a company that only hires TV-savvy professionals to headline their co-op SMT’s Gourvitz is the place to come. Our stable of “experts” all know their subject matter and can deliver a message the way Segment Producers want. Whether it’s Mark Schlererth talking about food and football, Elizabeth Werner talking about toys, Jamie Sorcher or Michael Garfield talking about Hi-Tech gear, Rudy Maxa talking about travel, or Allison Rhodes-Jacobson about safe products for the family, our people are as good spokespersons as you are going to get for your products.
What really separates Gourvitz from the pack is its placement and distribution capabilities. GCI books only top markets, guarantees secured placements and uses legitimate audience numbers.
If you want hi-tech editing facilities, we have it. Gourvitz has expanded its video editing services to two full-time editors and four edit bays. What separates us from the pack is that Gourvitz editors are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. If you can reach us, we can edit. There isn’t a facet of post-production that we can’t put together. Whether you want a clip reel or a sizzle reel or a b-roll package or a commercial, we can put it together. Recently we put together some sizzle reels for top products and companies such as Dove, Arm&Hammer, Axe Foe Men, Dolce&Gabbana, or Old Spice.
Gourvitz Communications has also expanded its West Coast operation, working exclusively in Los Angeles with HD Vision, producing Satellite and Interactive Media Tours, with major celebrities such as Nicole Richie, Odette Annable and Kate Walsh, Steve Nash, Damon Wayans Jr., and Paula Patton.
Of course, Gourvitz continues to provide top camera crews and studios to videotape your media events, interviews and media tours.
We provide everything you need. From tech support to lights to catering, just put your event in our hands and we will get it done.
If you want a company that has four decades of experience working with major corporations, trade associations and government Gourvitz Communications is the place to go. Frigidaire, Electrolux, Unilever, NRG Energy Corporation and the Consumer Electronics Association.
New services coming in 2013 will be productions filmed in Spanish and placed on Spanish speaking stations. We also are coming up with a variety of new ground tours with unique placement opportunities.
As the world of Broadcast Public Relations expands and adjusts to the new rules for PR, you can be sure Gourvitz will not only be ready, but will have already changed the rules in your favor.
