Create relations with the national and international press to bring you better visibility

A wider media scope

Digitalization has generated important changes in the information consumption habits of your targets. Digital media dominate their daily lives, which leads to an over-communication that makes the differentiation exercise more complex.

Bloggers and influencers now complement the traditional press. We will set up press relations strategies combining television, print media, relations with journalists as well as with influencers and bloggers.

This enlargement of the media sphere has significantly modified press relations, which have become media relations integrating all online and offline distribution channels.

Any communication strategy must broaden its scope to include all of these landscapes.

Frequently asked questions about press relations

Press relations vs public relations: what’s the difference?

Although often confused, press relations and public relations are not identical. Let’s imagine a theater play:

  • Press relations focus on the critics (journalists)
  • Public relations address the entire audience (all stakeholders)

A public relations agency can generally handle both aspects.

How to choose between press release, advertising, and press relations?

These three approaches do not bear the same fruits

  1. Press release: bringing your exciting story to a journalist hoping they will pass it on.
  2. Advertising: buying space to display your message and qualities to be seen, without being sure of being convincing.
  3. Press relations: weaving a web of contacts and influence in the media world to gradually establish your reputation.

Non-media communication: the other facet of PR

Non-media communication includes all other means of communication excluding web, print, TV, and radio press, such as:

  • Events
  • Sponsorship
  • Patronage actions
  • Partnerships

It’s an excellent complement to a well-constructed PR strategy.

What becomes of press relations in the digital age?

Digital press relations have revolutionized the practice. Today, a tweet can have as much impact as a traditional press article. But their effectiveness requires many prerequisites that are not open to everyone.

Digital communication means a network of followers, or you will be communicating into the void.

The reuse of your digital communications will only be interesting when your reputation as an influencer is established.

Finally, digital communication requires a permanent presence, unparalleled reactivity, and very advanced crisis management preparation. Social networks indeed flare up very quickly.

Some examples of press relations 2.0:

  • Live-tweeting of events or opinions
  • Creation of exclusive video content for influencers
  • Organization of webinars for journalists
