The main function of public relations is to build around a brand, create links and strengthen the relationships that arise with it. However, this is achieved through a series of actions and strategies that are not always easy to manage.
To be in the press is not easy, but to be in the press and for it to be a good location and profitable, much less so. Therefore, in order to effectively establish a public relations strategy, it is important to be clear about the objectives pursued by the brand, what it wants to achieve.
Why is it important to create a PR strategy?
The importance of creating a PR strategy lies in having a clear understanding of all the fields that are addressed in order to then translate it into the media in an effective way. The message has to be related to the moment and the interest has to be palpable.
Without interest, there is no news. The media always need a reason to cover an issue and for it to have a certain relevance. Therefore, the job of public relations is to investigate in which spaces, locations and media the target audience is in order to appear in a relevant space for the brand.
Without research there are no targets, and without targets there is no strategy. To be successful, the strategy must be implemented and measured at all times so that changes can be made if necessary.
Reach new audiences of people
PR is about reaching new audiences, and the acceptance of an action can be transformed into the creation of new audiences for the brand. With this, the relationships that emerge will be increasingly solid and profitable, as they are based on the brand values represented by the PR strategy.
By organising events, new audiences can be reached, strengthening relationships and perhaps surprising audiences that were unaware of the brand in its essence.
It allows you to attract new potential customers
A good PR strategy attracts new customers who will become the brand’s ally, because a potential customer is a reason to continue.
This is achieved through the implementation of different communication strategies such as the creation of a community, the promotion of free samples or even through a loyalty programme with the ultimate goal that the customer becomes a loyal follower of the brand.
Brand experience turns an unknown audience into a potential customer. It is all about public relations and effectively establishing this strategy will be the path to success for the relationship between the brand and its audiences.
Steps to create the right PR strategy
The PR strategy must be communicated correctly and effectively in order to achieve significant results and, above all, to keep a distance from the competition.
To have a strategy is to have security and peace of mind in the face of any unforeseen events that may affect the company, either directly or through external factors. The business objective is backed up by actions and coherent steps that allow us to know how to act in each case.
Internal analysis of the need for PR
First of all, it is important to know the real situation of the brand. Collect all the information and news that has arisen around the company and analyse the current situation. In order to move forward, it is important to know where (and how) to start from.
It is a matter of objectively capturing the different situations that the company or brand has faced, both positive and negative, understanding the possible media coverage and the consequences derived from it.
In order to establish a real context, it will also be necessary to analyse the competition in order to find out what situation they are in and how they are treated in the media, what repercussions each action they take has and how they are perceived by the public.
The message
The initial research also analyses the message and the coherence of each event or information. The different speeches have to feed the same idea at all times, effectively reiterating the established strategy.
Each message must bear the characteristic stamp of the brand.
Building and fostering real relationships
The growth of a company is worked from public relations, fostering and reinforcing each link and union so that it is completely beneficial and real.
Public relations is about generating real feelings, objective and earned opinions based on actions and values that represent the brand. Therefore, the growth of a brand is a source of pride for public relations.
