FAQs
PR stands for public relations. It’s the way in which you convey the personality of your brand to the public to build a reputation. This can be done through persuading journalists to write about you or your brand in magazines, newspapers, blogs and websites. You can also speak on podcasts, on panel talks, radio, TV or social media channels. It is always free, unlike advertising, which is usually expensive, paid-for media.
PR is evergreen promotion for your business, which means it lasts forever. Once you’ve been featured in Forbes or Marie Claire, that article will exist online forever. Building up a ‘trophy case’ of PR articles to display on your website will help build trust with your customers, and build your reputation as an expert in your field.
These articles will also organically boost your SEO (for free – no expensive pay per click needed – woop!) so you appear above your competition on the internet, which generates more sales
PR also spreads the word about you and your brand to a much wider audience than social media ever could. This opens the door to new collaborations and opportunities as people across the world read about your brand.
