Why Public Relations Should be a No-Spin Zone

Public relations should inform the public or stakeholders, build trust between companies and their audiences, and build and maintain a positive reputation for an organization.

The Value of Staying 'Frontal Lobe' with Your Contacts

We tell clients all the time that a single media placement is not enough, even a great one. That’s because you don’t know when a prospective client will be ready to look for your product or service. So, it’s important to build and maintain visibility consistently.

Five Things About Their PR Counsel That Matter Most To Clients

As PR professionals, we’re keen to stay abreast of new marketing channels and trends, new beat reporters and media outlets, as well as explore innovative ways to raise visibility for our clients. Making a fresh assessment of what matters most to our clients and their expectations of our firm is an important part of this process, too. While some rules of engagement and expectations of companies’ PR firms have changed, some things still hold true year after year. 

PR Planning for 2023

With year-end around the corner and companies starting to plan and budget for their 2022 marketing initiatives, many companies may be considering retaining a public relations firm for the first time or are looking to make a change in their PR counsel for the new year.

6 Questions to Ask if You are Thinking of Hiring a PR Firm

With year-end around the corner and companies starting to plan and budget for their 2021 marketing initiatives, many companies may be considering retaining a public relations firm for the first time or are looking to make a change in their PR counsel for the new year.

Companies Filing for Chapter 11 Need a Strategic Communications Plan as Part of the Path Forward 

Temporary store closures, nearly zero travel demand, lockdowns throughout the country, and a seismic shift to online shopping created the perfect bankruptcy storm for retailers, restaurants, hotels and other businesses in 2020. However, a Chapter 11 filing often does not mean the end of the company; rather, it is a path forward for a struggling business.

Marketing IS Essential in Difficult Times

While companies may need to cut non-essential expenses during a crisis, e.g. travel and entertainment, COVID-19 has some companies asking themselves, “Should we still be focused on marketing?”. The short answer is yes - Savvy c-suite execs and business owners may shift gears, but marketing will always remain a priority, even during the most challenging of times.

If You Build It (on LinkedIn), They Will Come

You remember the old line from the lottery commercial, “You Gotta Be In it, To Win It”? The same holds true for LinkedIn. If you want to “stay frontal lobe” and network where your contacts and prospects are, then you need a LinkedIn presence, especially if you operate in the B2B space. Currently, LinkedIn has over 610 million members worldwide, with 303 million active monthly users, 40% of which visit the site DAILY. Consider the fact that 92% of the Fortune 500 use the social media channel; the potential for visibility should be motivation enough to build and maintain a robust profile.

The Holiday Media Slump Myth

For years, we’ve heard about the “Holiday media slump” and why pitching stories during the December Holiday period may be akin to cheerleading in an empty stadium. There may well be breaks in a demanding news cycle at that time, and seasonal celebrations and vacation time out of the office leave holes in the calendar for PR pros and reporters alike. But the reality is, the Holidays are a great (and undervalued) time to conduct media outreach.

Earned Media Still Matters (More)

Today, organizations and individuals are just one step away from a crisis since online news outlets and social media can propel bad or damaging news or misinformation with a keystroke. This “unplanned visibility” can strike at any time – day or night.

10 Reporter Pet Peeves: What NOT to do when working with the press

Forging good relationships with the press and generating worthwhile content are cornerstones of a solid media relations program.  But knowing what NOT to do when working with a member of the media is just as important as what to do in terms of building and preserving those relationships and getting your story idea heard.  Here are a few things reporters and editors DON’T like:

Who is Your Media Spokesperson During a Crisis?

During a crisis, it’s is critical to tell your story first before anyone else does.  If you do not take the initiative to communicate honestly about the issue as soon as possible, someone else will, and it’s very likely that they will have their facts wrong or that their take will be biased—and not in your favor.

Getting Editors to Greenlight Your Story Idea

Clients are always looking for the “big story” on their company, the glowing profile and photo shoot. But the competition for this sort of coverage is pretty stiff, to say the least, and often times, there is a disconnect between what a client envisions is newsworthy and what an editor knows will pique his or her readers’ interest enough to stop and read beyond the headline.
