FRANCHISE INDUSTRY

Franchise Public Relations Campaigns

Axia Public Relations helps franchisors build solid brands and attract more franchisees through the use of earned media coverage.

Building a strong franchise is a threefold process. A franchisor must build its brand, attract franchisees, and support those franchisees. Without a strong brand, franchisees will not be interested in the opportunity, and without franchisees, the brand won’t grow.

At Axia, we have years of experience working with franchisors, and we understand the unique PR needs of the franchise business model.

Axia helped Brightway Insurance go from a one-location startup to a nationally recognized franchise brand over the course of seven years, with more than 100 stores nationwide. Brightway is now a major player among independent insurance agencies and continues to grow year-over-year due to Axia’s PR influence with local, state, regional, industry, and national media outlets.

Rebounderz chose Axia to help increase its brand awareness nationwide and grow its franchise units. Our team of experts launched a PR program that reached 69.9 million consumers and business people over a four-month period, leading to more brand awareness for this growing, coast-to-coast franchise opportunity.

When Money Pages decided to franchise, Axia raised awareness, understanding, trust, and consideration through earned media coverage as the company went from a single entity to a franchisor with locations in multiple states. As a PR firm with franchise expertise, Axia utilized its media relationships to earn media coverage for Money Pages in various national franchise media outlets. Axia additionally used its localized Avalon system to raise local geographic market awareness about the newest franchisees to the coupon magazine as the company expanded into new communities.
