Messaging: The Foundation of Successful PR | PR In Your Pajamas | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it
The foundation of successful PR is a sound message strategy. In this post I’m going to share with you the why, the how, and at the end, give you an in-depth worksheet you can download to help you do this yourself – whether you are a kitchen table entrepreneur or technology start-up, you’ll benefit from this exercise. There is so much “noise” out there that even if what you’re doing is a game-changer in your industry, it can be very hard to get stakeholders to listen. You have to tell your story many times, using multiple communication vehicles in order to get attention. Developing consistent, impactful key messages – of what the company does, what value it offers, what sets it apart from competitors, and why their target audiences should take notice is so important – it’s one of the first things we do for our technology PR clients (especially start-ups)....

...This is iReport’s fifth anniversary, and a CNN spokesperson calls it “the most developed and active citizen journalism platform of any news organization worldwide.” It claims 1,002,428 registered iReporters, and 2.4 million unique users each month. King said iReport has had content submitted from every country on earth.

 

While some iReporters are freelance journalists, or aspiring journalists, most are unconnected to the press. All are unpaid. They see something, shoot a video or photo, and upload it to the site.
