Identify

Clients tell us about what they
want to publicize and who
should know about it. We ask
them to identify the personality
of the brand. What’s your story?


Advertising

Advertising is a paid means
to attract attention and
ultimately, business. Unlike
public relations and
publicity, it’s not earned
space. You may advertise on
paper, online, broadcast
media or the side of a truck.


Marketing

Marketing is the melting pot
for all publicity and
promotions. You might lend
your name to an event, put a
visual on a t-shirt or create a
project that gives back to your
community. Connect with a
like business and cross market
or hand out flyers where your
target audience gathers.

Writing

Every element of PR, publicity, marketing or promotion is rooted in
clean and concise writing. Styles
vary for each purpose, and there are
appropriate uses for each medium.


Crisis Communications

The best way to stem a crisis is to be
prepared for one before it happens.
Identify your chain of
communication and have a
spokesperson ready to tell the
public what it needs to know when
information is available. This is best
done with a media list of regular
contacts, on your social media
pages and your website. Be prompt,
even if you don’t immediately have
all the answers and most of all, be
honest. A coverup is worse than any
misstep.


Public Relations vs Publicity

Public relations is information shared
to develop, enhance and maintain a
favorable reputation. Publicity is a
cousin to public relations that
generates a WOW factor. They may be
used long or short-term, however, most
effective strategies are played out six
months, one year or longer.
Public relations and publicity are often
used in part, if not all, to attract media
attention which in turn, informs
the public.


Social Media

Create and communicate your
message or someone else will with
social media. Social media is best
used when you are, in fact, social
online. Among the most popular
outlets are Twitter, LinkedIn,
Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and
Snapchat. Use the ones you think
you may best reach people who are
interested in your information.
Communicate. Interact. Engage.
Remember — it’s social.
