VEW Media, an independent public relations agency, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this September. Founded in 2001 as CWR & Partners, the agency signed its first client on September 11, 2001, and has since grown into a full-service firm representing a diverse roster of clients, from Fortune 500 companies to individual experts and global brands.
Over the past quarter-century, VEW Media has helped clients across finance, technology, healthcare, consumer products, travel, fashion, beauty, food, and other industries earn coverage in major outlets such as Bloomberg, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, the Financial Times, Forbes, BBC, Business Insider, and The New York Times. The agency develops messaging and story angles, conducts targeted media outreach, positions executives as expert sources, prepares spokespeople for interviews, and builds sustained thought-leadership programs.
“Reaching 25 years is both humbling and deeply meaningful,” said Veronica “Ronnie” Welch, founder and CEO of VEW Media. “We have been fortunate to help clients across an extraordinary range of industries, our 3 flagships being Finance, Technology and Healthcare, but we have also helped garner media for toys, clothing and jewelry, authors, food, and much more.”
The agency rebranded as VEW Media in 2018 after Welch bought out her partners in 2017. As the media landscape has become faster and more fragmented, VEW Media has invested in proprietary AI-powered tools and workflows to monitor developments, strengthen research, identify emerging media opportunities, and respond more quickly. Experienced public relations professionals guide every strategy, pitch, and recommendation.
“Public relations has changed dramatically since we opened our doors, and we have evolved with it without losing sight of what makes this work effective, understanding the story, building trusted relationships with reporters and garnering media placements that help move the needle for our clients,” Welch said. “Technology will never replace the judgment, creativity, and personal relationships behind great public relations, but it can make each of those strengths even more powerful.”
Michelle Thompson, vice president of public relations at VEW Media, emphasized the agency’s personal approach. “What has kept VEW Media strong is that we never lose sight of the people behind the story,” she said. “We take the time to understand each client’s goals, turn complex ideas into clear and timely stories, and stay personally invested from the first strategy conversation through the final interview.”
As it enters its next chapter, VEW Media plans to continue helping emerging and established organizations navigate a faster and more fragmented media environment while preserving the fundamentals that have defined its work for 25 years: strong stories, trusted relationships, responsive counsel, and results that support clients’ broader business goals. The agency’s guiding promise is simple: PR that gets ViEWed. Learn more at vewprmedia.com. View the original release on www.newmediawire.com.
