Our Challenge.

Once we heard about Apsiranet parent Lacey Duncan’s incredible story, we knew we had a recipe for success if we could obtain some significant press coverage to reach viewers all over the world.

Campaign Overview 

CM’s Public Relations team needed to circulate inspiring stories of children and families to garner press attention and find more loving homes for children.

The Work

We secured a unique opportunity with “Parents Magazine” to share Lacey’s story in an article, and her story went viral across social media, which then captured the attention of the even larger “People Magazine”, who published a second story in their digital issue to their massive international audience.

The Results.

With the circulation of 2.2 million copies of “Parents Magazine” and the 39 million readers of “People Magazine”, Lacey’s story got immense viewership. It additionally was shared over 45,000 times from the social media platforms of those two magazines alone. We also received publication in MSN.com and Yahoo Beauty, with millions of social media followers between the two accounts. Lacey’s story was a huge hit and caused millions of people to stop and think about the incredible need for resource homes in their communities.

Lacey’s story has been shared in several blogs and garnered interviews on additional sites, providing millions of impressions for the Aspiranet parent Lacey Dunkin.
