Digi-Key, the leader and continuous innovator in the high service distribution of electronic components and automation products worldwide wanted to elevate their PR presence and brand recognition globally, especially in regions of desired growth including Europe and Asia. Bellmont Partners took a comprehensive strategic approach to share Digi-Key’s thought leadership and communications with targeted global, national and local media. Since partnering with Bellmont Partners in 2019, more than 20 Digi-Key subject matter experts have begun proactively sharing their insights and expertise to grow brand awareness and further establish credibility.
