The benefits of a solid methodology in structuring of PR processes
The average journalist receives around 200 press releases per day, often unrelated to his or her field. That’s why using a PR agency makes sense! It’s no longer a question of producing information or content that will inevitably be drowned out, it’s a question of addressing the right target via the right channel, positioning yourself effectively to reach the right journalist, and finally making the relationship last. It’s true that there are fewer journalists than there used to be, they have less time and are in great demand. And that’s what press relations consultancy is all about. Quite simply, through in-depth thought and preparation, an appropriate strategy and dedicated techniques, we aim to create a nurturing relationship between these journalists and our clients, providing them with relevant information that they can use over and over, guiding them honestly so that they can do their job: confronting opinions, benchmarking expertise and providing our clients’ stakeholders with the keys to informing them and, where appropriate, facilitating decision-making on investment, consumption, acquisition, commitment, etc. Whoever helps the journalist to do his job can only be rewarded!

The PR strategy, a prerequisite for the operational set-up of PR actions
As a reminder, press relations are first and foremost about ennsuring a favorable climate, so activating the lever of journalists without structuring your approach won’t help you maintain your visibility and make a difference. A minimum of preparation is required to achieve a high level of press coverage throughout the year. When it comes to PR strategy, the key is to build a self-supporting roadmap based on solid communication assets, before rolling out press relations actions and reaping the expected results.
