How entrepreneurs should craft a communications strategy
Although it might seem daunting, it’s crucial for new organizations to establish an identity and customer base. Here’s how.
In an era of entrepreneurship, bright minds are stepping out of the traditional workforce and launching businesses.
When it comes to startups, it’s important to pair ingenuity and passion with PR prudence and a tight communications strategy.
Develop your own communications strategy by focusing on your messaging and relationships.
When creating your message, consider the following:
What are you saying?
No matter how eloquently you craft your message or how in sync you are with your media relations team, you must prioritize your product or service.
Align your product, user experience and customer service messages. You cannot expect your marketing and PR efforts to make up for operational errors. Your marketing and media relations outreach must be backed by a solid product and strong customer experience efforts.
Ask communications experts to help develop your brand’s voice and pin down the identity and positioning of your product. This is a process, not a light switch.
How are you saying it?
When talking to journalists and industry experts, you must be accessible and genuine.
