Key Takeaways:
PR Key Problems:
1. No clear Goal > You need S.M.A.R.T goals (Specific Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-related)
2. Campaign mismanagement -> no clear idea of how to run a campaign, steps to follow
3. Lack of alternatives -> Doing PR is sometimes not the right action to achieve your business goals. Evaluate other alternatives (adwords, Facebook-Twitter ads, email marketing,..), does it help me to achieve my business goal?
Be aware PR needs 3 Months of preparation
Prepare your pressroom on your website for journalists, a place where they can find all they need to publish your story, without having to contact you
Prepare your startup for PR, you will generate traffic to your website, are you ready to convert it into leads/clients?
Get to know first journalists, read them, follow them on social media
The email subject title is 90% of the success of your campaign, craft your message for the specific journalist
The more visual the email message, the most possibility to get positive answer
Learning by doing lower the risk of failure: Before committing budget to a PR agency or freelance, do it yourself to understand the media industry
If you work for it life will give it to you
Book Recommendations:
