How PR Can Help Your Business

You’ve read about when to hire a PR firm, and now have the tools to decide if it’s the right time to bring on an agency. To help you in the exploratory journey, let’s discuss five benefits PR can bring to your business. 

Thought Leadership

You’re a pro at what you do! PR’s job is to get that valuable knowledge in front of your audience, further establishing you and your company as thought leaders through targeted campaigns. Establishing thought leadership helps you to build a genuine, trustworthy relationship with your target audience, which, in turn, helps to earn you and your product or service credibility.

Credibility 

Credibility also comes from others' perceptions or experiences. When your audience interacts with your brand through a third party like a magazine or news source, those unbiased opinions help to establish an authentic reputation. Nowadays, it can be challenging for consumers to build trust with companies directly. Think of the last time someone told you about an awesome new restaurant, store, or product you just had to try. PR helps build that organic buzz, so more people can enjoy what you have to offer. 

SEO / Digital Presence

There’s huge value in having a strong digital presence in today’s media landscape. PR works to do just that, often building upon itself as more people get excited about you and your brand. When your company is referenced frequently online, it gives your search results rankings a nice boost. This is just one piece of the SEO puzzle, but an important one! An agency can also work with you to maximize the benefits of your PR across social channels.

New Business

When a company works with a PR agency to broaden its visibility, a variety of opportunities result from that greater reach. Customers will have more options to connect with you through the growing library of stories highlighting your brand narrative and offerings. As awareness grows amongst your target audience, one potential benefit is new business. Where marketing’s focus is largely to drive sales, PR amplifies your brand’s voice, identifying key messages that will resonate with consumers.

Differentiation

Every organization has key factors that make it unique from its competitors. An agency can work with you to identify what makes you stand out from the crowd. Having a deep understanding of what differentiates your company will strengthen your overall brand message and image, leading to greater growth and success. That demonstrated value and character will then lead to higher engagement with your company through aligned audiences.
