Court Story Communications Retains TransMedia Group to Tell Its Own Story to Prospective Law Firm Clients in Florida

Court Story Communications, a New York-based public relations firm that specializes in representing law firms, has retained TransMedia Group to make it more widely known in litigious areas like Florida.

"Our publicity will position Court Story Communications (
www.courtstory.com) as a firm led by an attorney dedicated to obtaining media exposure for other attorneys looking to raise their profile nationally," said Transmedia CEO Tom Madden.

Florida-based Transmedia (
www.transmediagroup.com) described Court Story president Olivier Gibbons as an astute attorney who was a reporter at such publications as the The Palm Beach Post and worked as a journalist at broadcast media before starting his own firm.

Gibbons said TransMedia is the ideal PR firm to represent Court Story outside of New York because TransMedia is known in legal circles, particularly in Florida, for having helped so many clients to become famous in their respective areas.

According to TransMedia, the publicity campaign on behalf of Court Story will underscore how Gibbons fully understands and respects the critical nature of privileged and confidential communications.

According to Madden, publicity that extols the virtues of a PR practitioner and stresses how one PR firm is more proficient than others in a particular field benefits the whole profession.

"When One PR firm casts a colleague in a positive light, it raises the publicity bar in a way that benefits the entire public relations profession," he said.

About Court Story Communications

Court Story actively promotes legal clients as authorities and experts in their respective fields and arranges interviews for them in such national media as AP and Bloomberg as well as in legal trade publications, from American Lawyer to Asian Legal Business Magazine.

"Law firms too often send out news releases that only masquerade as news whereas TransMedia will show how Court Story makes law firms and their experts newsworthy," Gibbons said.

About TransMedia Group

TransMedia Group is a full-service, multi-lingual firm serving clients worldwide since 1981 from offices in Boca Raton, London, and Paris.
