Executive Summary

[Client.Company] is looking for media coverage, a public relations strategy, and execution for their upcoming [Reason for Press and PR Coverage].

During our time together, we’ll work to deliver key messages in your company's voice. We’ll aim for a completion date of [Completion Date] and can reassess our ongoing services at that time. We’ll also provide monthly updates on our progress and go over goals and milestones on the completion date.

With our extensive experience in [Reason for Press and PR Coverage], we’re looking forward to making this announcement a successful one.

The Proposal

PR strategy

For this campaign, our team will provide and execute a custom strategy for [Reason for Press and PR Coverage].

Our team will work directly with your marketing and social teams to craft a distinct message for print and online media, covering:

  • [Key Message1]
  • [Key Message2]
  • [Print Ad Placement and Timeline]
  • [Online Ad Placement and Timeline]

The goal is for potential customers to see your brand represented consistently across a multitude of channels. While a single advertisement may not grab the attention of your audience, consistent messaging will resonate with them.

We’ll also develop three (3) sprints for each stage of the announcement, with a heavy focus on local media and social reach. We’ll work with your marketing team to develop marketing materials (ebooks, landing pages, copywriting, website content, and guest blogs) that deliver a consistent message and voice.

Public Relations Campaigns

Example campaigns can be seen on our website at [Website]. Each campaign includes:

  • An outline of the client’s needs
  • An overview of our campaign execution
  • Examples of the media we created
  • The results we achieved for the client

By taking a multi-pronged approach to PR, we can hone in on a core message that engages your audience while reaching as many media outlets and readers as possible.

Timeline

Editorial Calendar

After we’ve assessed your media and PR needs, the next step is to place all of our PR efforts on an editorial calendar so that you can see how the campaign will unfold. This also gives our team a chance to tweak messaging to ensure that the timing works together effectively.

As we develop the editorial calendar, we consider other events in the community that may impact our campaign. Sometimes, we highlight those items on the calendar for reference.

Social and Media Campaigns

The campaign starts with teasing the announcement. Initial efforts are tailored to your core supporters and their interests. As the campaign proceeds, we work to engage new customers, too.

Traditional media resources — newspaper, magazine, television, radio, etc. — help us share your message across many channels. Social media resources — like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok — are designed to encourage current and potential customers to post your message to their followers.

Press Campaigns

These occur in three stages: pre-announcement, announcement, and post-announcement, as shown below. This is a breakdown of one segment of our editorial calendar.
