Transparency. Authenticity. Purpose. People buy on emotion. We all want to feel good about how we’re spending our money. Now more than ever, marketing strategists should be helping brands engage with their communities, telling the stories that demonstrate companies’ values. If your marketing company hasn’t made this a priority, we need to talk.
Whether it’s through publicity, digital marketing, influencer marketing or advertising, as certified professional marketers, our job is to help you elevate your reputation, nurture trust in you and your business, and help you stand apart in what’s often an overcrowded market. This is especially vital if you’re targeting the Healthy Chooser® market.
While younger, smaller agencies offer some of the skills necessary to make this happen, Media Relations Agency has a full staff of talented professionals, from strategists, publicists and content marketers to website designers, graphic artists, videographers, SEO specialists and social media experts. Our clients don’t have to use multiple agencies. Our well-coordinated, integrated approach will help you achieve your objectives.
It’s also important to know where to reach the people most likely to be influenced by your positive messaging. We use our Strategically Aimed Marketing system to help clients make smart decisions about when to use each promotional channel, and how frequently. Repetition is essential if you want people to remember and act on your story.
While digital marketing is valuable because it can be more targeted, publicity is important because it generally has a broader reach. Do both.
If your marketing company hasn’t suggested publicity, consider these facts:
- Magazine readership is steadily increasing, up from 210 million in 2012 to nearly 222 million in 2020. Source: Statista
- In 2020, local newspaper digital readership climbed 30% year over year. Source: Pew Research
- Since 2016, the average audience size of local TV morning news shows has remained steady at more than 2 million. Source: Pew Research
Publicity is earned exposure. When you see someone interviewed on TV or mentioned in the news, the assumption is that the media consider that person to be a trustworthy expert on that topic. That halo effect can be enormously positive.
Do you want that for your business? For your product?
Marketing’s power is about more than getting your name out there. It’s actually a carefully designed and intricately integrated process that gives you multiple platforms for sharing what your company does and why you’re doing it. It helps people feel connected with you, and feel good about doing business with you.
