Advantages of Guaranteed Media Coverage

 

 
  Drive-Thru campaign packages Other publishers
Commitment

Our minimum investment is 3 campaigns per year because we believe in a continued marketing approach. 

We also believe that brands have at least 3 different initiatives to promote during the year. Increasing the number of times our audience sees your brand, the easier it'll be to convert them.

This also allows us to offer you competitive pricing.

 The majority of other digital publishers offer one-time campaigns, often at the price you would get for three (3) different campaigns with us.
Turn-around times Our efficient production time ranges between 4-7 business days. Turnaround times of 20+ business days are not unusual.
Performance
  • Your brand awareness increases over time and stays top-of-mind, which generally makes it easier to convert and gain new customers.
      
  • Benefit from guaranteed visibility from Narcity that takes away all the uncertainty of your brand being covered by PR or organically.
  • Needs and messaging are often misunderstood on the first campaign which sometimes leads to below industry average performance.
Support You will have a dedicated account manager for the whole year. Any questions or concerns, you’re only an email away. A team is available to guide you throughout your one campaign. It stops there.
