“Top Tech Communicator” for Third Consecutive Year
Annual Industry Survey of More Than 500 IT and Business Journalists Names
the Best PR Agencies, PR Departments and PR Practitioners in the Business
Dublin, CA – August 11, 2009 – Ventana
Public Relations, a strategic marketing communications
services provider, announced today that company vice
president Joe Austin, has again been named a “Top
Tech Communicator” by PRSourceCode for the third
consecutive year. PRSourceCode’s 4th Annual “Top
Tech Communicators” award is the IT editorial
community's ranking of the best PR agencies and corporate
PR departments, as well as individual PR practitioners.
The 4th Annual PRSourceCode Top Tech Communicators survey findings are based
on an online survey of more than 500 journalists from IT and business publications.
The study identifies the top five large, mid-sized, and small PR agencies, as
well as corporate PR departments and individual PR professionals, as ranked by
surveyed IT journalists. Each are evaluated based on the value they deliver to
the editorial process in terms of responsiveness, reliability, and overall recognition
of editorial needs.
“With a focus on strengthening the relationship
between the editorial and public relations communities,
PRSourceCode is pleased to honor the editorial community’s
highly-respected PR teams and individuals such as Joe
Austin of Ventana Public Relations -- through the Top
Tech Communicators study,” said Ben Wall, Account
Executive at PRSourceCode.
Austin has more than a decade of experience driving
strategic public relations planning, media tours, press
conferences, and media/analyst relations for a wide
range of companies in the data storage, security, networking
and Web 2.0 spaces. His deep media relationships span
broadcast and print, including editors and reporters
for business, IT, reseller, and vertical publications.
This experience has rewarded Austin’s clients – from
startups to global billion-dollar companies – with
volumes of press coverage including numerous print/radio
and television media placements in marquee outlets
such as CNBC, Fox, CNN, BusinessWeek, USA Today, Forbes,
Bloomberg, and the Associated Press.
"Strong relationships are critical for business success and this is especially
true in the execution of an effective media relations campaign," said
Al Angrisani, CEO of Angrisani Turnarounds and author of ‘Win One for
the Shareholders.’ "It is no surprise to me that top reporters in
the media have nominated Mr. Austin for this award. In only a few months time,
he has landed more than ten appearances on top broadcast networks, including
CNBC and Fox Business and secured impressive coverage in Tier One publications
such as Forbes and Bloomberg for my organization. I look forward to his continued
efforts in support of Angrisani Turnarounds and its objectives.”
“Joe is a remarkable communicator who always
works with the editorial community with passion, experience
and a keen knack for understanding the ‘story’ wanted
by journalists,” said Sabrina Sanchez, CEO of
Ventana Public Relations. “And, he continues
to do this with a laser focus on client goals so coverage
results map directly to their business objectives.
He is truly a ‘top communicator’ and we
are pleased to see him recognized for the third year
in a row.”
