From productlaunches to industry influence, PR plays a crucial role in crafting the narrative for B2B tech companies. ProductLaunches A meticulously executed PR campaign can spark a triumphant productlaunch within the B2B tech sector.
If a client insists on a risky pitch angle, then suggest testing it with a small media list first to evaluate its effectiveness before a broader rollout. In that case, you can say something like: That has the potential to be a unique angle. Adding a customer casestudy is always a gem in this scenario.
New productlaunches can be hit or miss. It’s easy to give in to the excitement and guzzle the Kool-Aid when a client starts to tell you about the next generation of their product. New products are getting harder and harder to pitch. What’s hard (sometimes) is figuring out how to get the media as excited about it.
A productlaunch date shifts, an acquisition deal falls through or it’s simply summertime and everyone is on vacation. For example, asking a product manager what it takes to be in that type of role and pitching a careers reporter on skills to succeed. Not pitching reporters: Seems counterintuitive?
But after the initial executive moves, productlaunch, or funding announcement, then what? As we mentioned in a previous post, every PR team should have industry monitoring in place to identify reactive pitching opportunities. But an hoc data-driven story is a good option for pitching the media during lulls. Be an expert.
One of my favorite examples is when KFC ran out of chicken in 2018 and published this full-page ad apologizing for it: In digital PR, reactive PR campaigns typically pitch quotes, data, or new stories to journalists that tie into a trending topic or news event. Because that is what journalists want from their pitches and sources.
And this process might look very different for multiple pieces of content surrounding a significant productlaunch versus a one-off blog post. The sales team to use in upcoming sales efforts such as pitch meetings. The product marketing team, if it’s related to a new launch, release, or bottom-of-funnel asset.
Here are some common types of Tech PR and how they’re implemented: ProductLaunch PR: Focuses on creating buzz and generating media coverage for new product releases, highlighting their features and benefits. This is especially effective for consumer technology products.
If you missed it, Alice Walker-Gibbons , the Digital PR Lead at Embryo , an independent UK digital marketing agency, wrote a fantastic casestudy about how they used reactive PR to land some major links (using BuzzStream, of course ). Do you always need an existing piece of content (from a client) to pitch a reactive PR piece?
Casestudies of successful food PR campaigns To get a better understanding of how a food PR agency can drive success for your brand, let’s explore some casestudies of successful food PR campaigns: The launch of a new restaurant : A food PR agency was hired to generate buzz and media coverage for the opening of a new restaurant.
Yet, even today, despite well-documented statistics, casestudies and benefits, corporate blogging doesn’t get the respect it deserves in some business circles. No longer does a new productlaunch require a pitch letter and an intern to reach out to a list of editorial contacts — spraying and praying for a response.
This is especially the case in joint initiatives like major productlaunches. Oh, we should probably pitch our influences and do a press release! Housing photos, video and other assets in a digital content hub makes it easier to pitch a cohesive and compelling story to journalists and influencers.
This could be a new productlaunch, an exciting partnership, or a significant milestone for your company. As I mentioned in the article, one powerful example of this is incorporating customer casestudies into your press releases. This is where your own research and relationship-building comes into play.
