Disruption. Challenges. Opportunities
Bob Gold & Associates is now one of the most reputable media agencies in the country, but it has had to overcome significant challenges along the way.
The reality of audience fragmentation means the days when one major national story could make an impact has long passed. Major media is struggling for advertisers and audiences. Whether it’s the Wall Street Journal or Los Angeles Times – papers are thinner, reporting staffs are smaller, and competition for their reporters’ attention is fiercer. And this is also true for TV, radio, digital, and trade publications.
Bob Gold & Associates believes it needs to think smarter and more creatively. Maybe the home for a story is best placed on LinkedIn instead of a trade publication. Maybe the news hook needs to be made sexier. And many times, a one-minute video can be more impactful than a 1,000-word article. The goal is to maximize recognition and ROI for clients, whether it’s through PR, marketing, advertising, web development, social media, or a mix of everything.
By constantly evolving and committing to always exceed client expectations, the company guarantees its campaigns will result in dramatic growth and deeper customer engagement for its clients.
