It was time consuming and success was often hit or miss. Advance forward 5 years and public relations has not gone away, it has just moved online. When working with a client on building their brand and lead channel we still employ many of the same successful techniques we learned years ago, they have just move online.
Pitches – We often find it easier and more rewarding to do pitches with Online Public Relations. We can often talk directly to the target writer, by passing editors and news rooms.
Speed – Getting a story often took months, today we can do it in a week from the pitch to the final publication of the story.
