Public Relations Strategies
Media Relations: On an ongoing basis, we will proactively and reactively secure media interviews for
the City of El Segundo with local, regional and national reporters who are writing stories about city
growth.
Estimated Budget: $500 per interview which includes pitching the selected El Segundo official to the
publication, coordinating the interview and following up with the reporter.
News/Press Releases: When it comes to press releases that involve a business coming to the City of
El Segundo as well as development or investment, it is important to create awareness for the city in
the media. For each news item or third -party press release, we will pitch media on interviewing
someone from the City of El Segundo, using a prepared quote from the city or including the city in a
story.
Estimated Budget: $800 per pitch/press release
City of El Segundo Press Releases: Ebeling Communications will work with the City of El Segundo to
announce city news. For each press release (as agreed upon by both parties), we will compile
information, draft the release, work with appropriate parties on edits and approvals of the press
release, distribute the press release to appropriate media, and conduct proactive media follow up to
encourage a feature on the city's news.
Estimated Budget: $1,200 per press release ($800 if Ebeling Communications is only handling
distribution and follow up)
w Desk -side Media Meetings and Tours: Ebeling Communications will coordinate meetings and tours
with reporters from local, regional, national and trade media outlets to discuss the City of El
Segundo's growth, its economic development initiatives and how it is a opportune city for relocating
and expanding businesses. The goal of these meetings is to position the City of El Segundo as a
preferred demographic, geographic and economic destination for businesses. These meetings should
take place in person to build the best rapport possible with the media. This leads to the City of El
Segundo being top of mind when reporters need interview sources for stories and is also a great
opportunity to pitch a profile on the city.
Estimated Budget: $700 per meeting
