To come up with an effective PR strategy, it is first necessary to determine what your overall growth goal is.

Getting an outside, objective view on your current state from a technology PR agency for startups like those of us here at PRLab can help you see the broader picture. Once that is done, PRLab will start in-depth research on your competitors, media landscape, and the industry niche you operate in to devise a communication plan.

As a startup or scaleup, your network of key media contacts might not be that extensive, or they simply might be out of your reach. So collaborating with us, in this case, comes in handy. We don't seek coverage just for the sake of it, we try to go a step beyond to make sure that the coverage has a strong impact on your overall marketing and sales funnel; therefore, we integrate our PR tactics with other areas of marketing to hone in on the full spectrum of marketing.

Reputation management

One of the main tasks of a PR agency is to build and maintain a positive reputation for your brand in the public.

Simply put, the character is who you are, but we focus on reputation – what other people think of you. Take note that nowadays communication happens largely online, therefore reputation management also happens there. PRLab uses social media marketing, SEO and growth hacking strategies to manage and grow the reputation of your brand. This positively influences your sales and marketing funnel. It's important to keep in mind that as a new business, most PR agencies won't be able to deliver good results as their focus is on maintaining reputations rather than creating them from scratch.

Event management

As with many things, event organization is thought to be simple, but it actually has many moving parts and requires a lot of attention and studying.

If carried out successfully, events management can have many benefits, such as increasing your brand’s professionalism, awareness, and loyalty in order to be seen as an authority in your industry. Organizing large scale events and conferences as well as booking speaking slots requires a ton of effort – you must identify the target audience, study the brand, plan logistics, define concepts, and coordinate many aspects. However, it can have many benefits for improving PR for startups. Luckily we at PRLab are experienced with such multi-faceted work and are able to deliver.

Thought leadership

One of the goals within our typical PR strategy and planning includes turning our clients into thought leaders. But what does that mean exactly?

+ read more

Thought leaders are companies or brands that people, clients, referral sources, or even competitors see as an information authority in their industry. Meaning that you become the go-to in that specialization. Our goal as a PR agency for startups is to position your company as the best in your niche industry. We accomplish this with a polished content marketing strategy as well as strategic media relations. What is in it for you? Among other things, you’ll increase brand awareness, add credibility to your product, attract potential clients by ensuring the quality of your product, and will be regarded as a thought leader or authority in your industry.

Media training

Press activities such as interviews and conferences are an important part of PR strategy for startups.

FAQs

Some answers for the most common Tech PR questions

What is tech pr?

Before honing in on the specifics of tech PR, it is important to define what PR is. Briefly, PR or public relations is all about informing stakeholders about an organization and creating positive opinions about the brand by performing strategic communications. Essentially, public relations is about using different media channels to form a positive image for your brand. Think of it as the following, advertising communicates the idea that you think your product is great - PR involves getting someone else to say it for you.

Now, what is Tech PR? In a nutshell, it consists of using the media landscape to create a positive image for technology and digital businesses. PR for tech startups is as necessary as for any other business. It's crucial for reputation management, but for tech startups it can resolve a number of technology specific issues. For instance, communicating innovation with stakeholders, attracting investors or talent. Public relations can immensely accelerate a company’s growth.

What is the best strategy for startups?

When it comes to public relations for startups the best strategy is goal orientated, keeping in mind the growth objectives of the business and matching them with PR goals is key. It is not just about getting publicity for your company or creating a positive reputation for your brand.

PRLab believes that the best PR strategy keeps your business goals in mind, and the strategy is adjusted to match those. Additionally, the best PR strategy focuses on metrics in order to achieve the best results possible. PR for startups requires the use of the full marketing mix to achieve results in it and beyond. That means different touch-points in content marketing, social media marketing, strategic branding, SEO positioning and graphic design.

In short, the best strategy for startups focuses on your business’s goals which is achieved through data analysis and the integrated marketing approach.

Why most startups don't get press?

The reason why most startups don’t get press attention has to do with the company’s core story. A small startup can actually get press attention without help, but it all depends on your media relations strategy. Most importantly you have to create a message – what, why, and how are you different, how do you stand out in your industry? Your message is everything and without it you are nothing. This is the first problem why many startups don’t get press.

Also, many companies have their focus in the wrong place. It is not about hits and likes or placement. It is about your voice and finding your place in the market. Understanding these two things is crucial for getting on with the PR strategy. Startups have problems setting their priorities straight, as well as setting goals for their media campaign. Scoping out media platforms and outlets, getting on the media’s radar, and choosing the best way to voice their message when they have the media’s attention is a process that requires persistence, a good PR strategy, meticulous attention to detail among other things.

In most cases startups don’t pay attention to all steps in the process, thus they struggle with getting press attention.

What startups should do differently when it comes to PR?

Initially this strategy should be different for a startup compared to an established company. PR for startups should address the needs and challenges of being a new company. For starters, it will often start with a focus on generating brand awareness. Acquiring new customers, educating people about a new product, or scoping out their competition – a PR strategy for startups will have startup-specific objectives.

Unlike an established company that develops its strategy based on existing strengths, weaknesses, and experiences; a startup is going to build from the ground up. Actually, in this sense a startup company has an advantage to navigate their PR strategy according to how they wish to be heard.

In addition, PR for startups jump starts their path to brand awareness. A public relations specialist can help startups find relevant media outlets to pitch their vision and business goals to the most appropriate audience. The world of startups has a learning curve to it; therefore, it is important to note that public relations for startups should focus on finding what works for the new company and what doesn’t, rather than emulating efforts of established companies.
