Blingo Media Coverage

Blingo Inc.

www.Blingo.com (PR greatly assisted the acquisition by Publishers Clearing House)

Previously a grass roots search engine showing up in blogs, Blingo is now part of a growing trend and gets placed as a regular feature story in major publications such as: Associated Press, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal etc. Blingo needed to be a great story, not just “Google Search Results and Win a Prize.” By pulling together other trends and Internet angles along with local and national winners, the story got the legs it needed to go very far.
