Breaking down silos between Paid, Earned & Owned media through continuous storytelling. We are all familiar now with the PESO model. In December 2009, Forrester defined what it called the three new media options for interactive marketers: “paid, earned and owned.” Earned media had traditionally been the responsibility of public relations, while paid and owned media had been part of the marketing mandate.

When it comes to creating the perfect brand, there’s no one-size-fits-all strategy. Even if there was an ultimate guide to branding, the marketplace and its trends change so frequently that it’s difficult to keep ahead of an ever-evolving space. To make sure that they’re constantly connecting with their customers in the most successful way possible, most organisations will need to dedicate some of their time and energy to staying ahead of the trends.

Have you ever sent out 100 pitches, waited eagerly for responses to pour in, but instead… crickets?

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to break through the noise, craft personalized, thoughtful pitches, and build genuine, lasting media relationships.

If you follow my work, then you know that helping organizations become crisis ready is not just what I do professionally, but it is one of my biggest passions. The reason I’m so passionate about my work is that being crisis ready provides so much value to an organization and the people it works with and for—value that far exceeds the sole acts of crisis management and crisis preparedness.

Leaked internal communications can be strategically valuable assets rather than just risks to manage. When used proactively, these leaks can highlight leadership and innovation—qualities that resonate in today’s media. By approaching internal comms with a dual-purpose approach, companies shift from mere risk avoidance to leveraging these moments as credible public messages around strategy.

For people who like to be out and active in the marketing world, public relations might not seem like the most exciting career. There’s a common perception floating around that PR professionals spend their lives behind a desk , answering phone calls and responding to emergencies on social media. While it’s true that a lot of the PR experience can take place online, or from an office environment, there’s a lot more to it than most people think.
Journalists receive an overwhelming number of press releases daily, making it hard for your news to stand out. While some news is valuable, most is not.

Tech PR and media relations are sometimes a bit like dating. You must be thoughtful about when and with whom you become “exclusive.” If a PR pro fails to consider offering a story to media as an exclusive, he may forfeit a great opportunity. Overuse it, and he risks getting a bad rep with journalists. What exactly is an exclusive? The word is a little misleading, because it sounds like you’re giving the story to only one reporter.

The lens through which you choose to see a negative situation directly impacts the actions you take in response to that situation, which directly impacts the results that that situation has on your brand. This means that choosing your lens, and empowering your teams to have and act through the right lens, is essential in building brand invincibility.

Around ten years ago, most customers went to one or two websites when they wanted to find out about a product, then they would consider whether they wanted to buy that product in person, or risk purchasing something online. Twenty years ago, there was no such thing as eCommerce. To learn about a new product, a client would have to see it on television, or advertised on a magazine.

Placing your CEO/founder as a guest on a tech podcast is a great tool for PR pros to establish the boss as a thought leader and thereby increase a young B2B company’s profile. Every company has a story, and that story can be a valuable public relations tool — and the best kind of free exposure. There’s a podcast for everything: from Meowster for cat lovers to The Survivalist Prepper Podcast, a show for doomsayers awaiting the collapse of civilization.
