A PR Library. With our Compliments

GroundFloor Media - The Library

Below are a few of the services to which GroundFloor Media (GFM) subscribes. Please use them at your convenience. Research systems. Pitching tips. Press release distribution. Media search tools such as Radian6, Sysomos and so many more. It’s a lock-stock-and-barrel list of vendors we like to rely on for administrative work so we can focus on our forte: crafting communications strategies and sharing our clients’ stories with their key audiences. We’re proud to offer you a pass-through cost model that saves you money. Why should you pay us extra for services you can subscribe to on your own?
