The Challenges of PR in Phoenix

Phoenix's explosive semiconductor boom, led by massive investments from TSMC and Intel, has created an intensely competitive media landscape where technology and manufacturing stories dominate outlets like The Arizona Republic and Phoenix Business Journal. Companies in traditional sectors like real estate, healthcare, and financial services find themselves struggling to break through the noise of billion-dollar chip fabrication announcements and corporate relocation coverage from California-based businesses.

The rapid population growth across key business corridors from Downtown Phoenix to Chandler and Gilbert has flooded local media with development stories, making it increasingly difficult for individual companies to secure meaningful coverage in KNXV-TV, KPNX-TV, or specialized publications like AZ Big Media. Healthcare systems and aerospace companies that once easily captured attention now compete with constant stream of construction projects, new business openings, and infrastructure developments that reporters prioritize.

Local media outlets including KPHO-TV and Phoenix New Times face the challenge of balancing coverage between major economic drivers like the semiconductor industry and the diverse ecosystem of businesses spanning Scottsdale's financial district to Tempe's technology corridor. Companies without ties to the headline-grabbing sectors often find their newsworthy developments overshadowed by the region's transformation into a major manufacturing hub and the resulting corporate migration stories that generate consistent reader interest.

Common Challenges

  • Competing for coverage in The Arizona Republic's business section dominated by semiconductor and real estate stories
  • Positioning your company alongside major Phoenix semiconductor investments from TSMC and Intel for visibility
  • Getting healthcare stories noticed when Banner Health and other major systems dominate local coverage
  • Securing airtime on KNXV, KPNX, and KPHO when California corporate relocations generate significant business news
  • Timing announcements to avoid being overshadowed by Phoenix's constant development and construction coverage
  • Building credibility with financial services reporters covering Arizona's rapidly growing fintech and banking sectors
