Why New York brands turn to a communications 

agency today

Brands in the city are rewriting their playbooks to match how people discover stories today. A 

A YouGov-backed survey of 1,300 U.S. consumers shows habits shifting between traditional outlets and emerging platforms. That insight drives a playbook we call Creative That Earns.

We use those findings to prioritize channels where people spend time and trust information. That means blending broadcast, search, earned press, and creator-led social work into a single plan.

● Map touchpoints: align news cycles, search intent, and social discovery for faster impact.

● Mix formats: vary frequency and creative to fit platform norms and audience attention.

We also set governance so approvals move quickly without sacrificing compliance or creativequality. The result is an adaptive approach that turns media fragmentation into measurable outcomes.
