As a part of this effort Pinkston created a comprehensive media relations strategy, messaging documents for all Global Guardian spokespeople and has provided the executive team with media training and spokesperson development.

In the first 9 months, Pinkston’s media campaign has resulted in more than 70 media interviews that resulted in more than 650 earned media placements through the country and abroad.
