Newsjacking: Building a National Brand

Uproar’s strategic outreach to national media positioned Chris Hurn, CEO of Fountainhead, as a key thought leader in small business lending. Uproar utilized a strategy that balanced timely topics (PPP & COVID) with evergreen ongoing topics (VC funding vs. SPA loans). We scheduled 30 interviews within the first month alone, including major outlets such as Reuters, CNBC, TechCrunch, Bloomberg, FOX Business, CNN, Inc., The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and USA Today. Hurn became such a trusted expert that CNBC utilized him for four separate articles. In addition to expert commentary, the team also secured a feature in The New York Times.
