Why is PR important?  Harvard Business Review : “It is well documented that brands that increase marketing & PR during a recession, when competitors are cutting back, can improve market share and return on investment at lower cost than during good economic times.”  Business Week : “The right story told at the right time in the right way can bring powerful and valuable attention to your business far in excess of what you spend to develop it.” For Tribal Moose, you are right on the cutting edge. 2010 is a turning point. We need to use the momentum to grow this company’s image.
Marketing vs. PR – Part 1 PR includes promotional activities that work to create a  strong public image  of the company. Public relations activities include helping the public to  understand  the company and its products. Public relations if done right can reach a large audience  without the expensive cost  of traditional advertising and marketing.  Marketing strategies such as advertising are often thought of as an  interruption , whereas PR is targeted communication to key contacts who care about your product and  want to hear & share  your message.
Marketing vs. PR – Part 2 Public relations : Public relations gains an organization or individual exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that do not require direct payment.  Advertising :  The paid, public, non-personal announcement of a persuasive message by an identified sponsor.  Marketing :  The systematic planning, implementation and control of a mix of business activities intended to bring together buyers and sellers. It is the umbrella under which advertising and PR can be found.
What are we paying for? Three  trained communication professionals to devote their time and experience daily to building the TM company. Strategists to build the reputation,  increase product demand , so that you may continue your primary careers as TM continues to grow and prosper. Access  to direct contacts through our media database to reach your target audience.  Personalized  media distribution capabilities. A  reliable  team to follow-up with interested journalists, key contacts and your customers. National  exposure in a variety of media genres.
Goals for 2010 Increase revenue: Sales, sales, sales! Increase demand: Build product popularity Establish a strong brand + reputation Build key relationships: Salvation Army – 2 events in 2010 Camp Chef – video, blog PGA event – Go Rob! Roth’s – meet in-person Made in Oregon – February
PR 2010 approaches Continue to maximize opportunities in traditional and emerging media Reach out to retailers, schedule meetings & interviews for client Coordinate events and trade show appearances, which bring about publicity, recognition and product demand
What we would need to succeed! Timely responses from client Communicate expectations clearly Action! Work on company so we can find the spin to make big things happen!  More frequent meetings? Thank you!
