Originally, PRLab and Wayflyer underwent a 12-month collaboration. The contract has been extended till October 2022. As PR is a long-term game, the best strategies and results can be achieved when a relationship is ongoing and continuously building on previous successes.
Update:Wayflyer became Ireland’s sixth unicorn, after having raised €150M in a Series B funding round, and securing $300M & $253M debt financing, now the company is standing at a €1.6B valuation. As this is a great achievement for Wayflyer, the PR strategy was adapted accordingly to ensure generous press coverage is received for this milestone. Especially in the startup world,
funding rounds are important to announce. This type of news is important to share with current and new potential investors, as it gives them an indication of where the company is heading in terms of future growth and ROI.
