The Notability Company, an agency focused on helping brands and nonprofits receive recognition on Wikipedia, launched at the recent PRSA annual ICON Conference in Washington, DC. For organizations without a Wikipedia presence, the firm leads targeted media outreach to establish notability. For those with an existing page, the firm supports strategic growth by securing the types of sources that allow a fuller, more accurate story to be told. The Notability Company was founded by Molly LeCronier (founder of Anomolly Consulting) and Bill Beutler (founder of Beutler Ink). LeCronier is known for her expertise in brand storytelling and earned media, while Beutler has two decades of experience in helping organizations effectively navigate Wikipedia’s nuances. “Wikipedia isn’t just a reference site. It’s one of the most powerful credibility platforms in the world,” said LeCronier. “Most PR teams treat it reactively; we treat it strategically, putting it at the core of how our clients are recognized and remembered.”
