PRmediaNow Helps Crowdfunding Clients Raise more than $35 Million
Tampa, Fla. (PRWEB) January 30, 2017 -- Since it started Crowdfunding PR in 2013, award-winning public relations firm PRmediaNow has become an industry leader -- helping clients raise more than $35.6 million (and counting) for their products and services on the crowdfunding websites Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
“We are very excited about our clients’ crowdfunding successes, which have led to many referrals with new crowdfunders turning to us to get the word out about their innovations,” said PRmediaNow Principal Colin Trethewey. “Looking at the increased number of clients and dollars they raised in 2016 versus 2015, we believe the viability of crowdfunding to obtain loyal customers and provide funding for new products continues to rise.”
PRmediaNow helped crowdfunding clients raise $18.7 million in 2016 compared to $16.1 million in 2015 and a total of seven PRmediaNow clients have surpassed the million-dollar crowdfunding plateau since 2015.
“Working in partnership with our clients enables us to leverage their marketing and communications to reach the broadest possible number of backers through the media,” Trethewey said.
In 2016, several PRmediaNow clients broke the million-dollar threshold during their crowdfunding campaigns including Nomatic travel bag, Luuup, ‘the world’s best litterbox’ and FaceCradle, an innovative head-rest designed for deep sleep during travel.
“The level of support we received from backers in the United States was nothing less than phenomenal," said FaceCradle co-founder David Scrimshaw. “To have such great worldwide support for FaceCradle, with the help of PRmediaNow, was something we never expected.”
The wide variety of products that PRmediaNow has represented ranges from smart clothing, to travel accessories, to tech, but all the successes have one thing in common - they solve a common problem for consumers with an innovative solution.
“For example, we provided publicity and generated important earned media coverage for Golchi, a multi-purpose water bottle, that raised nearly a half-million dollars with a solution that allows consumers to carry hot and cold beverages and snacks all in the same container,” Trethewey said. “If a product meets a need in the marketplace, crowdfunding backers have shown they’ll respond and get the product into production through their financial support."
