Case Study: Chicago Scholars boosts awareness and earned media with Mekky Media Relations

Chicago Scholars generates 200M+ earned media impressions with Mekky Media Relations

Chicago Scholars, a nonprofit supporting first-generation and under-resourced students, partnered with Mekky Media Relations in 2018 to raise awareness for its impactful college access and success program.

Mekky Media Relations first executed a rapid four-day campaign for a key event, generating 6.1 million earned media impressions. This initial success led to an ongoing partnership where Mekky Media provided media relations support, ultimately securing over 200 million earned media impressions. This effort supported fundraising and mentorship initiatives and led to national recognition for the organization, including being named a 2020 NBA All-Star charity recipient.
