Mistakes Companies Make with Their PR

Keep your brand strong by avoiding these mistakes

A man frustrated on his computer. Building a strong, positive reputation for your company is important and takes time. Creating a well-known, recognizable brand doesn’t happen overnight. Surprisingly, most companies don’t know how to manage their PR, so they make mistakes, which leads to a weak or negative reputation. That’s what you and your company want to avoid.

Hiring an ad agency. PR is one of the best ways to build a company’s reputation while advertising supports it. Many companies may think they are hiring a PR firm but continually get pushed to buy an ad, and that won’t help you build your brand.
Focusing only on media relations. Public relations is more than media coverage in a print publication like a newspaper or magazine. It’s also more than a TV or radio interview. The internet and social media make it even more convenient to reach your audience directly and should be part of your company’s efforts.
