PR campaign to help large organizations vaccinate thousands for COVID-19

Health Hero, the nation’s largest on-site mobile mass vaccinator, selected Axia Public Relations to share its vaccination capabilities with America’s largest preauthorized injection companies and largest employers to inoculate COVID-19 as quickly as possible.

As pharmaceutical companies continue to race to bring their COVID-19 vaccine to market, Health Hero is gearing up to administer the vaccine to as many government agencies, large employers, and preauthorized injectors as possible. It desired a strategic public relations partner to guide its communications and position the company as the leader for COVID-19 mass vaccination capabilities.

Use scheduling to make your social media content reach the right people at the right time.

Social media is one of the cornerstones of online public relations. Its ability to reach so many people makes it a key component of any online public relations plan, no matter what platforms you intend to use. However, there’s one critical component companies starting their social media plans can overlook: the value of pre-scheduling their social media posts. 

It’s easy to simply post social media content once your team has developed it, but what really works is having content scheduled in a way that’s published at a great time and to have a backlog of content dating back weeks or even months so you’re fully prepared. There are plenty of tools that let you schedule social media content well in advance, both externally and offered by social media platforms.

Interest, attract, and persuade your audience by using a call to action.

If you’re on social media, you’ve probably encountered the words “buy now” or “click here” while scrolling through your feed. This is called a CTA, also known as a call-to-action. 

A CTA is a strategy that many companies use to entice and influence its audience into performing an act that will benefit their business. A CTA should be short, sweet, and straight to the point.

For a more in-depth explanation of CTAs and why they’re significant, read more from this blog post.

It is highly probable that COVID-19 caused a dramatic drop in your consumer demands as people scramble to adjust to the new normal. However, there’s also another possibility many companies are guilty of: Your digital marketing strategies are not up to par.

Just like investing in construction revenue protection to ensure your company stays protected and profitable, it is also crucial that you invest money in digital marketing if you want to remain competitive and relevant. 

A guide to avoiding bad meetings

As Dave Grady mentions in his TED Talk, there’s a global epidemic called MAS, which stands for “mindless accept syndrome.” A symptom of this is, in Grady’s words, “an involuntary reflex in which a person accepts a meeting invitation without even thinking why.” All jokes aside, the subject of the TED Talk is something PR professionals should take into consideration. 

Many of us subconsciously accept invitations to meetings without even asking what the meeting is about. No one wants to sit in a meeting for hours without knowing what the game plan is, especially if we have other projects to work on and deadlines to meet.
