Once again Gourvitz Communications is providing its public relations clients with a new, cost effective and unique way of getting media coverage. It's called an Interactive Media Tour. And what makes
it different from what is currently being called an Internet or blogger tour is that it actually includes video and is a digital delivery to only major Internet sites. In just two years, GSH, a division of GCI, has not only set the standard for this service, it is the standard. And the co-op SMT business, created and invented by GCI, is now doing more business than ever before.
The key is using only major talent, booking mainly big markets, and having every co-op available to view live on Ustream.TV. GCI's core business is still SMTs/RMTs. Now more than ever before TV stations, want, need and
will do satellite interviews if you give them a good spokesperson, a compelling story, sprinkle in some b-roll, use two cameras and create a set. B-rolls are now being done again with a unique angle to TV station websites, newspaper chains and blogs. There is very little actual TV placement for a b-roll. GCI shoots and edits everything in HD and now has added a fourth edit bay to accommodate its clients' needs for comp, sizzle and in-house video reels. And when GCI says it's 24/7, it means 24/7.
