As every PR pro can attest, one of the best parts of our job is supporting companies doing interesting, innovative things that make the world a better place for all of us. We recently had such an opportunity with our client LeoSat, a newcomer to the satellite industry devoted to bringing high-performance, cost-effective broadband service to businesses and governments through the development of a low Earth orbit satellite constellation. This addresses the unmet, critical need for fast, global coverage within these markets while marking a step toward new standards in satellite systems and communications.
This month, LeoSat came on the scene to publicly announce this vision as well as its appointment of industry veteran Vern Fotheringham, formerly of Kymeta, as CEO. To support the announcement, we distributed the news to a number of select technology, satellite and space industry outlets and journalists. This outreach was highly successful, resulting in more than a dozen articles and multiple reposts in a variety of local and industry publications. Following is a sampling of the coverage generated by the news:
