With Escapade PR, GlobalCom gains new driver for consumer business
With the plethora of communications channels now available to reach consumers, it can be confusing to know where and how to apportion your public relations budget.
Do you opt for a social media route putting all your effort into bloggers, social media sites and on-line engagement? Or should you rely on traditional print media to get your message across? Or maybe regional radio both on and off-line is where you should be?
In reality there isn’t a one-stop solution for any brand, service or product.
If you have a mass market product targeting gatekeepers in a demographic or location that doesn’t have internet access at home then it is probably true to say that an on-line campaign would be wasted. A better engagement route might be broadcast and women’s lifestyle magazines.
Conversely, if you have a service that is targeting students, it is probably not an efficient use of time and effort to target traditional print media but to look at experiential and on-line instead.
The key to a successful campaign is to really understand your target audience, their media consumption and their buying behaviour.
