How Do You Pitch Google?

Apropos this year’s Earth Hour, Google answers the question every PR agency wants to know: How can I get Google to do something for my organization or project?

“We welcome your ideas on how we can become more socially and environmentally responsible. Although we can’t guarantee either a placement on the Google homepage or even a response to every query, we do read every e-mail we receive and welcome your ideas of organizations that you believe we should feature. If you’d like to submit a proposal, please send it to us at proposals@google.com.”
