There’s an old adage governing public speaking: “Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them.”
It drives the point home. Sets up expectations, strengthens the message by reducing uncertainty, then reinforces through repetition.
The same value chain can apply to press releases, another form of public relations. Strategic, organized and purposeful press releases to media outlets legitimize your business, promote your people and products, drive sales through exposure, and keep your brand in front of customers.
Press releases take on many forms: Traditional formats for print media, electronic formats for digital distribution, and abbreviated formats for social media.
