The New York Times reported on its front page that
hoki, best known as the primary ingredient in the
Filet-O-Fish, is at risk of depletion
The New Zealand companies that farm hoki by the
metric ton weren‟t pleased by the article, which
pointed to “ominous signs of overfishing”
PR firm CounterPoint Strategies fought back –
WITH FULL FORCE

First, they switched the linked page from NYTimes
to a rebuttal statement
Took out ads on Google Adwords, Facebook and
media trade journals such as Mediapost
Targeted „hoki‟ keywords and NY Times employees
Got an apology, then took out more ads to show off
the apology
Changed the NYTimes-linked page again, to include
the full apology letter
