April Fools Special: When and How to Newsjack

 Tie your brand to a current event to boost brand recognition and reinforce corporate values. Lance Looper, TREW Marketing Brand and Content Strategy Director, has watched newsjacking evolve from a PR best practice to a well-honed content marketing strategy since his early days in the business.
