Capitalizing on the Client’s Bottom Line – RESULTS

Clients hire 5WPR to get their brand the maximum ROI, which for some, might be sold product, website traffic, new clients for their service, and much more. The perfect picture any client paints when walking through 5WPR’s door is a sit down with Dr. Phil and a profile in The Wall Street Journal. Of course that type of tier one media is astonishing, but it isn’t always possible.

What we have noticed, is that what is now the status quo in the PR industry – securing placements in some of the most top tier media – doesn’t always result in the best takeaway for a client’s business. There have been a large number of testimonials from the companies we represent that paint a different picture – one of specificity, precision, and singularity.

There are a number of reasons that top-tier may not always be “best-tier” – lack of a target audience, omission of website links, poor SEO optimization for certain articles, etc.

A Quantcast 400 client we represent is the ideal example – We’ve managed to secure them placement in some of the largest outlets in the U.S. (i.e. Huffington Post, New York Post, Fast Company, BuzzFeed, Mashable, etc). But a mention from a regional technology-based radio show with a die-hard following resulted in unprecedented traffic. These smaller, dedicated outlets can often time deliver unexpected results that work in your favor.

Tips from 5WPR CEO Ronn Torossian

Some tips from 5WPR CEO Ronn Torossian book “For Immediate Release: Shape Minds, Build Brands, and Deliver Results with Game-Changing Public Relations”:
  1. Work hard. Work really hard—the harder I work the luckier I seem to become.
  2. PR is a 24/7 career. The news never stops. When a bomb goes off at 8 p.m., newspapers, cable channels, and digital media are running updates continuously.
  3. Don’t believe your mom’s PR (all the time). Be honest about what you’ve got to work with, and then work with what you’ve got. Deal with reality—PR only works if it’s based on something real.
  4. Look for marketing co-ops, especially if budget is an issue. There are many ways to get great visibility for a fraction of the price by sharing the spotlight with complementary brands that attract the same audience.
  5. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Given the surplus of marketing ploys out there, chances are there’s already an effort going on or a story line that ties in well with your brand that you can piggyback and ride the wave. For example, if you’re a beverage brand that caters to the college market, do product seeding through an event that’s already taking place on campus.

Wanted to share a great quote made today to Fox News: “As one who owns a PR firm and works in marketing, I make sure that my kids understand that just because something is on TV doesn’t mean it is good – and I hope all others educate their kids the same way,” added Ronn Torossian, CEO of 5WPR. (And of course it is true).
