That’s why we are sending you this certificate, which is only given to accounts whose results are in the top one-quarter of one percent.” This was for the Indoor Air Pollution piece we distributed for Miele which achieved 1,168 placements. NAPS distributes to nearly all the 100 largest national advertisers, all of the top 20 PR firms, 100 associations+, government agencies and most of the Fortune 500. To quote NAPS, “Your success marks you as a leader among some of the very savviest PR pros.”

This is the second time that our strategic messaging on Miele’s behalf has outpaced the industry for placements with NAPS. The average placement is @ 100 stories. Our piece achieved placement over 10x the average.
