We explore how PR goes beyond advertising to create meaningful connections and communicate effectively with audiences. Jo explains: - The concept of Launch PR, which focuses on telling the story behind why someone launched their business, providing opportunities for media coverage. - The role of media in shaping public perception and how it can be used to enhance credibility and establish authority. - How PR can help in client acquisition, not just through direct exposure, but also via backchannel conversations and word-of-mouth referrals. - How to use PR to amplify one's authority by sharing published articles and celebrating unique stories. In this discussion we also tackled a controversial topic: paying for PR or awards. We share strategies for effective storytelling and preparation for media interviews, emphasising the importance of reflecting on past achievements. Finally, we discuss how PR agencies work with clients, starting with creating a media bio to understand the client's story, passions, and purposes, then matching them with relevant media opportunities. Tune in to learn how to leverage PR to boost your business's visibility, credibility, and client base.
