Startups of all sizes have big marketing goals: increase brand awareness, drive website traffic and win market share against entrenched competition.
While those goals are supported by a foundational marketing strategy, a key component of that strategy that’s oftentimes overlooked is the role of PR.
Many startup marketing professionals and founders wonder if PR is still relevant. After all, doesn’t social media occupy center stage, data analytics point out undiscovered opportunities and AI take the guesswork — and even much of the labor — out of selling to end buyers?
Rest assured, PR is holding its own among the cacophony of competing technologies and metric-driven decision making. If anything, PR has gained greater traction in the digital marketing stack.
Regardless of whether you are a manager, director, VP or even CMO, it’s crucial to understand the value of PR in today’s modern marketing landscape and how it can be used to achieve your startup’s revenue goals.
That’s why Swyft has put together a Tech Startup PR Guide.
