The Power of PR: Three Simple Ways to Make an Impact

Find your voice

Strong communication is about finding a voice that’s true to you and your brand. Are you friendly? Authentic? Down-to-Earth? Identifying key attributes of your brand will help you create a tone that resonates with your audiences. Tip: Ask your clients, customers or partners how they perceive your brand to gain insight on who you are.

Tell your story, then tell it again.

You’re busy – innovating, experimenting, changing the world. You might live and breathe your brand every day, but chances are, your key stakeholders don’t. The great thing about a brand story is that it can be told again and again – across your social media channels, on your website, through PR, through video, photos, influencer campaigns, the list goes on. The Rule of 7 is a reminder that your audience needs to see and hear a message seven times before they take action. (Some would argue that the wild world of digital media would say it’s seven-fold that number).

Strategy should reinforce simplicity

These days, the world moves at the speed of light. You might feel like you’re constantly in GSD (“getting stuff done”) mode just trying to keep up. Now is a great time to get out of reactive mode and start to plan ahead with confidence. A detailed and bespoke communications strategy can be your secret weapon to thrive today and tomorrow.
