Public Relations
We believe that public relations is a key element of any communications strategy.
Effective PR builds credibility, demonstrates thought leadership, and creates highly valuable backlinks that help with SEO.
But not all PR is the same. At Essential we pride ourselves on our strong media relationships and achieving quality earned media coverage for our technology clients. No newswires. No advertorial. No sponsored content. Just high quality coverage.
This is coverage that is achieved as a result of hard work, pitching in stories to journalists, helping them to see the angle for their readers or, if the journalist is a freelancer, giving them a story to pitch in order to secure a commission.
It involves knowing your target press and the things they write about. It means treating journalists as individuals, not as a name on an email list and it involves working with great spokespeople from our clients.
