Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: We already have an established corporate Web site. Will a Wieck-managed digital newsroom hamper our branding efforts?
- A: Not at all. Wieck will follow your branding standards to develop a highly functional media resource that appears as a seamless section within your corporate site.
- Q: Does Wieck do temporary digital newsrooms for special events?
- A: Absolutely. Global clients like The Coca-Cola Company and General Motors consistently look to Wieck to manage the tremendous volume of media traffic that comes with special events such as the Olympic Torch Relay.
- Q: We already have a digital newsroom. Why should we use Wieck?
- A: We offer fully searchable sites that are strategically designed to cater to reporters and editors on deadline. We also offer comprehensive technical and editorial support for our corporate customers as well as media users.
- Q: When we make a big announcement, important details can change quickly. Can Wieck keep up with the changing information?
- A: Yes. Our founders are wire service veterans, so we understand the importance of keeping your information and images as current as possible. All it takes is a phone call or e-mail to our seasoned editorial staff to have us make critical changes on the fly.
- Q: Our company has a large media-relations staff and a large IT staff. How can we justify using a third-party vendor like Wieck?
- A: Wieck efficiently handles the mundane, time-consuming tasks related to media delivery, freeing your PR and IT staff to concentrate on higher-level activities. And, does your IT department really want millions of outsiders to have access to your system?
- Q: Do you handle dark sites?
- A: Yes. Dark sites (crisis-response centers that remain invisible to the public until they’re needed) can be your company’s saving grace in the event of unexpected media interest. Unlike most internally managed corporate sites, Wieck Media can take the hits when Web traffic to your virtual newsroom surges.
