Harris Marketing Communications is the trading name of Christian Harris. I’m an IT journalist with over 16 years industry experience. I have launched and edited large-circulation newsstand magazines and Web sites and continue to work on numerous freelance projects that include news writing, blogging, interviews and product reviews.
I’ve had a lot of experience as an in-house editor and freelancer, so I know what makes a good story. This is the kind of experience that I can offer technology companies.
I try to provide cost-effective support and top-class results to my clients in areas other PR companies aren’t tapping in to, such as social marketing. Not distracted by huge overheads or trying to build an unmanageably large client base, I work hard to dig deep and raise the profile of companies that need to increase their awareness.
I believe that success is based on commitment to measurable results, unparalleled client service, exceptional media relations, and thorough tracking and reporting. I focus on results. Coming from a journalist background, I know how important it is to learn my clients’ businesses inside and out, and make it a priority to understand what drives their bottom line. I look beyond the scope of the target publications and pay close attention to emerging trends and new market opportunities. Above all, I guarantee exceptional value.
I know how important time and money is to your company. To capture that market share you have to get the right kind of attention fast. You need to create a reputation for quality, impress the right people, and build relationships with the media. I listen and effectively respond to your needs. Expect some straight talking advice and you will begin to get an idea of how I operate.
