Frequently Asked Questions

Q: We already have an established corporate Web site. Will a Wieck-managed Online 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: We already have a media centre. Why should we have a Wieck Online Newsroom?

A: Does your media centre offer – downloadable reproduction quality images, downloadable broadcast quality video and audio? 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: 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. Does your IT department really want millions of outsiders to have access to your system? Do they have the time to develop such a specialised site? Can your media alerts wait for IT to resolve a network issue? Are the PR department's priorities the same as the IT department's? If you answered no to any of these questions, you need Wieck.

Q: Does Wieck do temporary Online 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: When we make a big announcement, important details can change quickly. Can Wieck keep up with the changing information?

A: Yes. Our founders are media and public relations veterans, so we understand the importance of keeping your information, images, video and audio as current as possible. All it takes is a phone call or e-mail to our experienced editorial staff to have us make critical changes on the fly.
