XENOPHON INFLUENCES OPINIONS & ACTIONS
Xenophon executes precision campaigns at the local, state and national levels by targeting key audiences and surrounding them with our client’s stories and narrative. We identify the most influential journalists, educate their sources and target the social media mavens who move opinions and get attention. Sometimes we do this by pitching an irresistible news story or cutting a short, compelling, video to amuse and educate. We build social audiences based on relevance not to just get a high “follower” or “like” count filled with bots and unrelated audiences.
Washington DC is more than just a city or media market, it is the issues & reputation capital of the world. No where does the light of public attention shine brighter than here, because issues and communications influence key audiences across the nation and worldwide. DC has one of the highest concentrations of journalists of any city and has emerged as a key location for internet news.
