Case study

Develop case study questions and structure, contact case study subject, interview the subject, write the case study, gain approval for the case study from the subject.

Media list generation

Identification of the appropriate target media for your organisation or PR campaign. The size of this task will vary depending on the key words used.

 

For example, a list with every media outlet whose editor says ‘business’ is one of the key words that describes their publication will amount to around 1000 different publications. Once collated, the list will need to be modified to establish which of those 1000 media will be right for your organisation. A list with every media outlet that cites ‘forestry’ as a key word, will only command a list of around 20 publications and therefore will take less time to collate and moderate. Media lists can also be produced geographically e.g. for Nottinghamshire

Dependent on the no. of key words and type of key words identified in list development

Image - Every penny counts

We count your costs

 

We’re a small business and we know that every penny counts so we don’t recommend impractical, high cost marketing activities. Have a think, how much free editorial - not paid for advertising - coverage have you achieved in the last 12 months? If the answer is very little or none, then we’ve just identified the best place to start.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our special packages for SMEs range from an introductory 'PR Snapshot' through to a 12 month support plan. Each package represents a significant saving of the cost of the various elements purchased individually.
