How Top PR Firms Help Tech Start-Ups?


As the concept of PR (Public Relations) is not very clear with so many firms, they do not feel so confident in investing their money in associating with PR firms. But for the successful development and future growth of start-ups, PR is very important. A start-up understands how difficult it is to create an image of the brand in the market as they have to start from scratch. With the help of a good PR agency, a start-up can create a positive image in the market and develop successful media networks. Once, Bill Gates shared his ideology about a PR firm - “If I had one dollar left, I would spend it on PR.”

The major goal behind starting any business is to spread awareness about the brand and attract more audiences to it. This is undeniably a very challenging task as there are already established businesses present in the market. To compete and create a position among them requires lots of marketing and advertising of the brand. Hence, the professionals of the top PR agencies can help a lot in establishing the brand value for any start-up. The first thing to be considered by the start-ups before hiring any PR consultancy is to be prepared with a proper plan about the product or services. Premature start can lead to negative publicity which can ruin the image of the brand and then it will take a huge amount of time to regain it.

Here are some points which can help any start-up how they can utilize PR.

1. Identify a Goal: To be on the right track, the first thing to be considered is to decide the start-up goal and be clear in defining the key messaging about the business. Majorly the start-up goal includes an increase in the traffic or visitors, attracting new customers, and increase in awareness about the brand. With these clear goals, appropriate messaging can be created. 

2. Implementation of PR Storytelling: PR storytelling is useful in creating an emotional bond with the customers. This emotional connection is usually helpful in engaging with the journalists. Storytelling is fruitful when you create by thinking from the audience and journalist’s point of view. Create an outline of the topic before writing the whole story. The pointers will help in identifying whether they are catchy from a blogger’s point of view or not.

3. Form Relationships: Build a relationship with the journalists by approaching them through social media. Take part in various group discussions and be both helpful as well as obtrusive. Grab the opportunity of meeting the journalist and impress them by showing your knowledge despite showcasing your brand.

4. Fresh Content with Bullet Points: Always think out of the box while creating a story. Make it more readable by using bullet points and small paragraphs.

5. Avoid Industry Jargons: Prepare a pitch that is understandable by any person. Journalists don’t have time to understand the fundamentals of your pitch and they won’t bother to ask again. So, be very careful while pitching. 

Gaining media attention is not an easy task but with the help of the right PR firm, the journey will become easier.
