App Influence – because PR matters, and the right tools even more.
A good public relations plan can help with investors, increase website backlinks, and give a boost to brand awareness. We are all capable of saying “we’re cool”, it’s much more difficult – and even stimulating – to get someone else to tell our story (and how cool we are!)
PR can help project a favorable image to a startup’s target audience. Image is everything; it can make or break a company with just the use of words.
But how do you get the attention of journalists? How does one “become the news”?
- Be patient! Getting press coverage takes time and consistency. As well as a careful analysis of your media limits. Having just started a startup and looking for a publication on Forbes is a little too ambitious, don’t you think? Focus on industry media outlets first, and start a conversation with the most influential journalists,
- Newsworthy first. But what to do to make a story newsworthy? The knowledge of the targeted audience and what they want to listen to. The right story is one that comes to the right person at the right time. Even better if enriched by a great social, environmental or technological impact. Monitor the trends and read the next step!
- Here and now. The newsworthiness of a public relations campaign also depends a lot on its timing and the timeliness of its presentation. It is necessary to find the right link to facts, news, relevant news in the “here and now”. And remember, no one cares about a story that is already old.
