What We Did.
10 to 1 Public Relations’ aggressive media strategy helped produce more than 1,400 media features and mentions for Runbeck Election Services during the 2020 election cycle. These stories focused on educating the public about the vote-by-mail process to give voters confidence about the system and to counter misinformation designed to disenfranchise voters. To demonstrate voters’ confidence in the system as vote-by-mail was introduced to many new jurisdictions in 2020, the country saw record voter turnout for the general election.
10 to 1 PR also designed a crisis communication plan for a variety of potential scenarios and false accusations that could put long-term trust in the company at risk. 10 to 1 PR was able to quickly and effectively refer to this plan as any issues arose.
Moving on from the 2020 election cycle, 10 to 1 PR is continuing to work with Runbeck Election Services to maintain the company’s reputation within the printing and elections industries through creative media relations and strategic award submissions.
