From being National Entrepreneur Month, to Veterans Day falling on the 11th to the news media’s ongoing need for examples of how businesses are responding to the pandemic, November presented BizCom clients with numerous opportunities to showcase their brands.
Here is a sample of the media coverage we helped secure last month for some of our clients.
Neighborly’s annual reunion went virtual this year, but the global franchise network still made a point to recognize its top performers who were then featured in leading industry media such as ACHR News, UGlass Magazine and Irrigation & Green as well as in winners’ local markets. Furthermore, with many Neighborly franchisees coming from the ranks of the military, news media such as WBAY, NBC, ABC, CW, and CBS turned to Neighborly for examples of how servicemen and servicewomen have made the transition from the military to business ownership.
