WordStorm PR identified a strong, newsworthy angle in relation to Dementia Awareness Month in September and the release of the SOS Mobile Watch. We pitched the angle to The Today Show, which resulted in an eight minute story and in-studio interview with the mCareWatch founders. This exposure led to a partnership that transformed the business and led to a massive spike in sales and enquiries in the days that followed.

A number of different angles focusing on Christmas, a comparison of the SOS Mobile Watch and the traditional emergency pendant and the business story about mCareWatch resulted in 47 clippings across print, online and radio. The product featured in The Age, The West Australian, Weekend Today, Startup Smart, Tech Guide, and NewsLocal.
