The 2008 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity: Media Coverage
April 15, 2008
The 2008 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity has received widespread media attention in broadcast, print and online. The announcement of the 2008 Top 50 list was broadcast on CNBC with DiversityInc Partner and Cofounder Luke Visconti and Verizon Communications (No. 1 - 2008 Top 50) Vice President, Workplace Culture, Diversity and Compliance Magda Yrizarry. The coverage has so far resulted in approximately 440 media hits reaching an estimated audience of nearly 150,000,000 people. Additional coverage will continue as the specialty lists are announced. "We were honored to be a part of the 2008 Top 50 Companies for Diversity getting the attention it deserves," said Cathy Renna, managing partner of Renna Communications, the P.R. firm hired by DiversityInc for the Top 50 publicity. "Consumers increasingly want more information on the values and practices of the businesses they support. We are primarily an LGBT-focused firm, but our community is one of those highly loyal demographics, so we understood DiversityInc's goals well and executed our strategy accordingly," said Renna. "Having the opportunity to reach millions of people with a 'who's who' of business that are committed to diversity in all its forms felt more like a public service than public relations, and we are thrilled with the results."
