3 tips in PR:
Goodbye press releases, welcome more authentic content related!
Some of us are used to create the main document of the event with all the specific data – the casual press release. All the companies and agencies send this paperwork too al the media channels and business publications to be reposted on their own channel. This practice remains an old tactic of communication, which step-by-step will be transformed. The communities react to more authentic and natural ways of communication. An organic article, company-based with real date can create a better impact on the community.
No advertorials – better organic articles with added value and credibility.
As more and more of us are bored with advertorials, brands orient around organic materials. The importance of credibility is an essential pillar for brands. All the pins around the marketing strategy are developed around the idea of credibility and well-relation with the customer. How the client percept the message of the campaigns has changed over time and now we highlight substance, truth, and utility.
Face-to-face interviews and less digital zooms:
During pandemic, we were in the situation to choose digital experiences over face-to-face interviews. All zoom apps were in high demand during pandemic due to the fact that all the restrictions impacted business procedures. Now, the media prefers to organize interviews for real, to experience the authentic way of communication.
