The PR and marketing industry strongly believe in the “always control the message” saying. Since the search engine ranking and results appeared, a new promotional approach was also developed, because the ranking is a very important aspect of promoting brands and goods. The strategy was called “reputation management” and it is both the skill and art of keeping control of the client’s point. This is done by understanding how to work collaboratively with the Google algorithm.  The leader in this new field is ICMediaDirect.com.  Founded in 1996, two years before Google, the company has been a pioneer in perfecting the new techniques of reputation management. IC Media Direct works with companies or individuals in controlling the message across the Internet to project the best possible branding image.

The importance of online buzz cannot be underestimated and can lead to measureable business results.  It has been calculated by the Harvard Business School that each star in a Yelp rating increases a business’ sales by 5 to 9%.  And a bump up from 3.5 to 4 stars on Yelp typically results in a 19% increase of restaurant bookings during peak business hours.  Through its nearly 20 years of experience in the PR and marketing industry, IC Media Direct has developed an effective strategy that affords them 100% control of search results.  They employ an experienced and professional team of online marketing representatives utilizing state-of-the-art technology to define and disperse throughout the Internet the specific branding impression that a client is looking for.  Undesirable search results can be pushed down and replaced with more positive links generated from reputable media sources.  Their PR team consults directly with the client to plan an effective, long-term PR strategy and then efficiently execute it.

With two offices in New York City and Washington, DC, ICMediaDirect.com serves a global roster of clients in 49 countries and speaking 49 languages.  The list includes Fortune-500 CEOs, athletes, politicians, executive level bankers, and top motivational speakers.

IC Media Direct maintains an active profile within the marketing and PR industry and annually sponsors major marketing events and conferences including Affiliate Summit, Leadscon, SES, ad:tech, and New York City Fashion Week and attends other key industry events like New York ad:tech, Chicago SES and LeadsCon Las Vegas. ICMediaDirect.com was honored with the New York Excellence Award from the Small Business Institute for Excellence in Commerce (SBIEC) two years in a row.  The award is the result of an annual survey the SBIEC conducts in different industries to identify companies in said sectors that have achieved above-average success and reflected a high degree of ethics and business acumen.
