Public relations

Public Relations is the service that positions your brand as a game player in the conversation already going on about your industry, product or service. While often considered the softer approach to marketing, our team believes that the integration of both traditional above the line marketing and tactical PR produce spectacular results. But what makes good PR?

“Great PR = Planned, Concise, Measurable Communication”

  1. Great PR is honest — telling the client what they need to hear instead of what they want to hear. Good PR recognizes that the best strategy needs conclusion, it needs to be followed with the client’s good products/services or else it’s all a vain and wasted effort that harms everyone’s reputation.
  2. Great PR is sustainable — it is not just about the over-glorified launch. Good PR helps build and sustain a groundswell of brand support — incrementally changing consumer behaviours via a steady stream of relevant and open communication to both “players” and “spectators.”
  3. Great PR creates a noise — it celebrates the client’s customers in an inclusive, non-exploitive way. And, good PR welcomes the input of “neutrals” and especially “critics,” and adapts or positions strategy accordingly.
  4. Great PR is neither push nor pull but both — it is proactive in thought leadership and responsive in a crisis. Great PR finds the balance.
  5. Great PR is definitely measurable. (And yet also hard to measure, since most clients want to measure different things.)
  6. Great PR leverages pre-existing relationships with influential people — relationships built on trust and credibility earned over years of service.
