PR & Press Releases.
What does a digital marketing company know about press releases? Quite a bit, actually.
We know the best practices for creating newsworthy announcements that grab attention and get published. We know the precise formatting requirements and optimization tricks. We’re very familiar with the tedious online submission process.
Most importantly, though, we know that press releases aren’t just for PR anymore! In fact, press releases are a pretty underutilized tool in a marketer’s toolkit. In addition to helping spread the word about your business and news to journalists, bloggers and content aggregators, press releases can help strengthen the bond between your brand and important keywords, client and partner brands, news topics and trends, and much more.
