PR shouldn’t always be serious. Sometimes, humor or a pun in the appropriate place can make a big difference in catching an audience’s attention.
Although no one can ethically guarantee earned media coverage, you can ensure your PR agency and staff gets bonuses for hitting specific objectives. If a PR firm you’ve working with hits certain KPIs or outputs (including earned media coverage in specific news outlets), you can give them a bonus for reaching such milestones. These bonuses should be tied to something measurable and meaningful so you have an objective metric to base the bonuses on.
News media appearances are great. However, they’re not guaranteed. The news media should be absolutely independent and objective. That’s why earned media coverage is so valuable. It can’t be bought, so it’s much more believable and credible than paid media.

This means making sure all the links are working, your most recent accomplishments are listed, and the pictures reflect current technology quality. This may seem tedious, but the last thing you want is to finally get someone to your website or post and “the important link” doesn’t even work.
Creating content for social media months in advance can save you time and a headache. There’s also multiple platforms you can use to post on your behalf so you don’t have to think about posting at a certain time.
