A Tailored, Balanced PR Strategy
A Tailored Strategy
StoriesOut devises your PR strategy by formulating the Push/Pull/Profile mix that best meets your objectives.
- PUSH: sending information based on company-specific news to targeted journalists (product or corporate announcements, events, etc.)
- PULL: communication based on news stories unrelated to the company (reacting to competitor announcements, following up on editorial series planned by the media, developing pitches that showcase the company’s expertise from a chosen angle, etc.)
- PROFILE: communication, excluding company-specific news, designed to position the company’s expertise (writing op-eds, customer testimonials, informal meetings with “core target” journalists, etc.)
