DUBLIN, CA--(Marketwire - August 11, 2009) - Ventana Public Relations, a strategic marketing
communications services provider, announced today that company vice
president Joe Austin has again been named a "Top Tech Communicator" by
PRSourceCode for the third consecutive year. PRSourceCode's 4th Annual "Top
Tech Communicators" award is the IT editorial community's ranking of the
best PR agencies and corporate PR departments, as well as individual PR
practitioners.
The 4th Annual PRSourceCode Top Tech Communicators survey findings are
based on an online survey of more than 500 journalists from IT and business
publications. The study identifies the top five large, mid-sized, and small
PR agencies, as well as corporate PR departments and individual PR
professionals, as ranked by surveyed IT journalists. Each are evaluated
based on the value they deliver to the editorial process in terms of
responsiveness, reliability, and overall recognition of editorial needs.
"With a focus on strengthening the relationship between the editorial and
public relations communities, PRSourceCode is pleased to honor the
editorial community's highly respected PR teams -- and individuals such as
Joe Austin of Ventana Public Relations -- through the Top Tech
Communicators study," said Ben Wall, Account Executive at PRSourceCode.
Austin has more than a decade of experience driving strategic public
relations planning, media tours, press conferences, and media/analyst
relations for a wide range of companies in the data storage, security,
networking and Web 2.0 spaces. His deep media relationships span broadcast
and print, including editors and reporters for business, IT, reseller, and
vertical publications. This experience has rewarded Austin's clients --
from startups to global billion-dollar companies -- with volumes of press
coverage including numerous print/radio and television media placements in
marquee outlets such as CNBC, Fox, CNN, BusinessWeek, USA Today, Forbes,
Bloomberg, and the Associated Press.
"Strong relationships are critical for business success and this is
especially true in the execution of an effective media relations campaign,"
said Al Angrisani, CEO of Angrisani Turnarounds and author of 'Win One for
the Shareholders.' "It is no surprise to me that top reporters in the media
have nominated Mr. Austin for this award. In only a few months time, he has
landed more than ten appearances on top broadcast networks, including CNBC
and Fox Business and secured impressive coverage in Tier One publications
such as Forbes and Bloomberg for my organization. I look forward to his
continued efforts in support of Angrisani Turnarounds and its objectives."
"Joe is a remarkable communicator who always works with the editorial
community with passion, experience and a keen knack for understanding the
'story' wanted by journalists," said Sabrina Sanchez, CEO of Ventana Public
Relations. "And, he continues to do this with a laser focus on client goals
so coverage results map directly to their business objectives. He is truly
a 'top communicator' and we are pleased to see him recognized for the third
year in a row."
