MarTech forever changed the way that marketers work, what they report as success and how they do their jobs.

As public relations professionals know, there are many different types of media interviews. Some are features based on in-depth contact with company representatives. Others involve a chance to comment about a breaking news story or issue. In the latter case, we sometimes experience disappointment.
