How to grow awareness and credibility for your business in the media
Are you a startup or SME business owner wondering how to get your business in the media?
In the digital age, just having a great product is not enough. For people to buy from you, invest in you, promote you or partner with you, they need to know about you.
This makes story telling and media relations a non-negotiable part of every modern marketing plan. In the words of Richard Branson, one of the most prolific and successful entrepreneurs of our time, "Publicity is absolutely critical. A good PR story is infinitely more effective than a front-page ad."
You can't sell a secret!
It's true. Media coverage can do wonders for catapulting the perception of your business from obscure also-ran to industry leader, helping you build awareness, trust and credibility with customers, investors, partners and future team members. In fact, according to recent data, approximately 89% of the world's top 500 brands utilise PR to grow their business.
And it's even more important for emerging businesses that don't have large advertising budgets. In the words of marketing guru Al Ries (widely recognised as the father of the concept of "market positioning") - "Publicity builds brands, advertising protects them."
But why is it that some businesses seem to get heaps of coverage when others don't? And what can you do as a founder to make sure your business is the one people are writing and reading about, before your competitors?
