Public Relations and Marketing Services
Research on Trends and InfluencersBefore launching a PR campaign, we research market trends and ‘hot button’ issues; competitors’ solutions and media presence; the impact of key influencers, including analysts, media and industry groups; and your company’s visibility in the marketplace. This preparation is essential to launching a successful PR campaign. Media Briefings and Press ToursWe organize regular briefings with key editors and industry analysts, helping to prepare these important influencers for upcoming announcements. We also plan and participate in press tours to promote new product launches. Press CampaignsWe conduct press campaigns to secure news coverage in the outlets that matter to you and your customers. After honing the message and identifying media targets, we set campaign goals and engage in a proactive pitching campaign. Press ReleasesOften seen as the fundamental building block of a public relations program, there is an art and science to the well-written press release. Compelling, meaningful headlines and substantive core content combined with an intelligent use of hyperlinks and key words drive both press coverage and search engine optimization. Contributed ArticlesContributed articles are well worth the investment in time. Not only do you secure coverage in meaningful outlets, you also retain editorial control over what appears online or in print. Examples include technical articles, case studies and viewpoint pieces, which allow you to position your company as a trend-maker and your corporate executives as industry experts. Product ReviewsProduct reviews are an important source of publicity for companies, but they must be managed carefully. We identify review opportunities for products, as well as help companies to set up the necessary support to assure that the reviews are positive experiences for both the company and the reviewer. Social MediaThe traditional ‘turf’ of the PR practitioner has expanded dramatically beyond print, online and broadcast media. Our constantly evolving world includes blogs of all flavors as well as social media sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. Speaking OpportunitiesTo help position corporate spokespeople as knowledgeable and credible experts within market areas, we regularly research and locate speaking opportunities at conferences, trade shows, seminars, user group meetings and other industry or community events. Spokesperson CoachingWe work with your spokespeople to prepare them before they ever staff an in-person or phone briefing with an editor or analyst. We coach them on staying on message when a reporter is volleying questions at them during an interview. We also provide specific guidelines on ‘hot button’ issues for each media contact. Marketing ServicesMedia relations is part of a continuum of marketing programs that can be called into action to build your overall brand. With backgrounds that extend beyond media relations into marketing communications, we take an integrated view of your public relations and marketing programs. We tailor your messaging for clarity and consistency so you can deploy it in advertising, product collateral, press campaigns, social media initiatives, and even Webinars and tradeshow booth graphics. Through our extensive network of affiliated vendors, we provide services that span copywriting, design and production to market research and brand development. And because we have held internal marketing positions, we realize that preparing for a special event, like a tradeshow or a seminar series, isn't just about the next press release. It's all about lead generation and relationship development. Collateral DevelopmentWe develop (and design) product collateral that supports your marketing initiatives—and which you can repurpose for your website, HTML newsletters and more:
