These days, it’s not enough for your marketing department to make cold media pitches, write news releases and send cold emails to journalists, hoping to get coverage. In this digital marketing age, your corporate marketing department needs a more comprehensive strategy – one that will attract customers and bring the media to you. The answer for your business and your marketing department may be inbound public relations.

Inbound marketing follows a methodology to attract, convert, close and delight virtual strangers, transforming them into leads and delighted customers. Smart marketers are attracting customers by being the experts in the areas where their prospects are seeking more knowledge. It’s the opposite of the old-fashioned way of capturing leads through disruptive cold calls. By using inbound marketing, you’re interacting with customers in a way that addresses their needs or wants.
