Five unusual reasons to do more content marketing

by | Aug 28, 2015 | Advice & Tips

As a hybrid agency, Media Relations has hands-on experience with every promotional channel. While you may associate agency writing with press releases and blogs, our clients quickly learn that our writers can create media-grade content to be used in interesting and unusual ways. This list may cause you to reconsider your need for more content marketing.

  1. To convince individual reporters to do a story about you. Many reporters specialize in specific topics or industries. Once you have identified those who are most likely to cover a topic related to your product, nurture their interest by sharing a pre-written article or blog. Educate them about your brand’s value points, features and benefits. Well-written content will tell them why they should share your information with their audience.
  2. To arrange prospect meetings during the next trade show. A booth that’s buzzing with activity throughout an event will cause other attendees to investigate why that company is getting so much attention. More receptive people = more leads. Spark this action with pre-event blogs, emails and social media posts about what you’ll be featuring at the show. Tell attendees why they should contact you ahead of time.
  3. To finally finish that brochure. Printed materials are valuable lead generators. They can build your database. We’ll help you complete your unfinished project so that you can start putting it to work. Our designers can even make it more visually appealing.
  4. To add awards to your company’s portfolio. Earning awards can yield positive media coverage, increase brand recognition and give prospects more reasons to work with you. But those nomination forms can be time consuming. Our writers know how to favorably position your value points, increasing the likelihood that you’ll receive recognition.
  5. To get an expert’s assessment of your marketing materials. All of your content, from your website to your brochures, should have well-integrated and consistent messaging that’s on point with what your target audience wants to receive. It should be clearly written, with no vague, unintended meanings or fluff. Ideally, it should be written in the more-trusted AP Style. That is in keeping with how the public receives information through the media. Our professional writers are skilled in writing, editing and marketing. We can review and polish your content, with the goal of improving its impact.

Even clients who are exceptional writers need a hand from time to time. We’re happy to help with any sized project. Call us at 952-697-5269 and tell us to write.

Robin will coordinate the writing for your newsletters, social media posts, website, blogs, newsletters and press releases. “I like interviewing clients and spokespeople, hearing their stories, getting to know their personalities and listening to how they phrase their thoughts,” she says. “It’s fun to transform what I’ve learned from those conversations into media-grade content.” Robin enjoys shaping content to ensure that the message will be clearly received. “When someone understands the relevance of what they’re writing and can position it properly for their audience, their work tends to be more convincing and on point. I’m fortunate to have a very diverse background, which gives me a good perspective whenever we bring on a new client.” An IABC- and Mercury-award winner, Robin says her practical experience in the health sciences has proven particularly beneficial as she interprets clients’ scientific information for mainstream media. “But it’s no longer sufficient to write well,” she cautions. “As marketers, we must now comply with the intricacies of digital marketing. That involves a whole set of rules, which are constantly evolving.”
