In response to growing international interest in its innovative social media PR press release building service, US-headquartered Pitch Engine is implementing a regional representation and support network.
Pitch Engine founder and CEO, Jason Kinztler, said the appointment of an Australia and New Zealand representative illustrated the speed with which Pitch Engine is gaining currency among PR professionals and with fast-moving companies generally.
“Des Walsh is an internationally respected social media practitioner and we are delighted that he and his Webarts company are to be our representative for Australia and New Zealand, within our broader regional strategy for China and the Asia Pacific region. We already have a close working relationship with Des in his role as an associate of our China partner, CFM. So we are effectively ramping up an existing relationship to ensure that the Aussies and New Zealanders get information and support in real time, from someone in their own part of the world.”
Pitch Engine''s strategy for China and the Asia Pacific is being coordinated and driven by CFM.
According to CFM, there are over 8,000 brands on PitchEngine now, and a significant number of those are headquartered outside the USA. They see China and the greater Asia Pacific and Australasian markets as ripe for growth. The market in this region is becoming increasingly savvy about social media and PR professionals are very keen to maximise the potential of social media to get their clients'' messages out and engage more effectively with customers. Pitch Engine can help them achieve that.
“Here at CFM we are also developing a range of value-added services for Pitch Engine, including multi-language translation and optimization services, which we will be announcing soon..” says CEO of CFM.
