MPB Communications Gets Ahead of Competition with Vocus Public Relations Software

Vocus, Inc., a leading provider of on-demand software for corporate communications and public relations, announced today that MPB Communications has extended its agreement with Vocus to provide enhanced services to its growing client base. Founded in 1985, MPB Communications is the premier strategic communications agency in Central Florida, with a proven track record of consistently providing beneficial and professional services that enhance the image and reputation of its clients.

According to Lauren Furey, a public relations account executive at MPB Communications, the agency had tried other media relations software but was frustrated by either limited functionality or hidden costs. The agency switched to Vocus because its comprehensive management capabilities and simple annual subscription fee provide greater productivity and value.

“Vocus provides a comprehensive software system that helps us build targeted media lists; distribute press releases; manage our campaigns; and report to our clients on the results of our efforts. Using Vocus, we are able to clearly demonstrate success for our clients, saving the time and expense required to put together manual reports,” said Furey. “Vocus also has the best media data available, we are able to stay one step ahead of our competition by having immediate access to up-to-date media outlets and reporters, and editorial calendars.”

Vocus provides an integrated on-demand software suite for PR professionals. The Vocus on-demand software suite manages media and analyst relationships; interactive email campaigns; projects and news; files, documents and other collateral; and online newsrooms. The software also analyzes media coverage and other PR information to provide real-time feedback on the effectiveness of PR campaigns and early intelligence on trends unfolding in the press.

“Managing media lists is only one of the many things PR firms do for their clients. That’s why Vocus goes way beyond list management to help PR teams with every aspect of planning, executing and measuring the success of PR campaigns,” said Rick Rudman, president and CEO of Vocus, Inc. “We are pleased that MPB Communications is among the hundreds of Vocus users at PR firms who have realized the superior results they can achieve for their clients with our software.”
