PR For Business

 

Every organisation depends on its reputation for survival.

Customers, suppliers, staff, journalists, networkers and social media followers can all have a powerful impact on a company’s reputation and, in turn, on its success.

Everyone has opinions on the organisations they come into contact with, and it’s these opinions that will drive decisions for current and potential customers.

Effective PR can help manage your reputation by communicating and building good relationships.

PR for Business

PR for business services

Your PR campaign can include regular press releases to build your profile, raise awareness of your brand and/or product and your business success.

We work with people every day who don’t realise how many exciting stories they have within their business… we take those stories and shout about your business from the rooftops (or let the media do that for us!)

We create your story and share it with those all-important reporters, producers, followers and influencers.

By sending press releases to the media through a professional PR company, you have the chance to be in control. You give out the information YOU want the media to have, rather than the information the media has found.

As multi-award-winners ourselves, Team J&PR loves writing award entries for our clients - and you don’t have to be a retained client to enjoy our award entry writing service!

From regional business awards to national, industry-specific awards, we draft your entry to ensure all criteria are met and that the judges know you deserve to be receiving that award on the night!

We can train your team so they know exactly how to promote the news when your business is shortlisted and on the night of the awards ceremony (whether it’s virtual or in-person!) through your social media platforms.

If your team would rather leave it to us then we will join you on the night and get that live coverage of your award win.

Communication with your staff is key.

Your staff need to know what is happening within their teams, across their branches and across the entire organisation.

We can ensure your good news and company updates are communicated effectively, professionally and consistently.

We handle internal communications for many of our retained clients but have also covered interim periods at various national companies.

Do you have a new product launching? Maybe you’re starting a new business? Running an offer? Are you about to introduce a new service? Hosting an event?

We want to shout about it!

Our short-term PR and social media campaigns ensure that whatever you’re wanting to promote will hit the ground running on launch day.

Our work with Chef & Brewer promoting the new Riverside Inn in Cound saw the pub open with multiple press releases gaining regional press coverage and a fully-booked dining area for weeks to come!

J≺'s account managers work with our in-house marketing team to ensure the relationship works effectively.

Since the first lockdown in March 2020 the digital presence and reputation of a global brand like Jesmonite has never been so important; J≺ ensured our digital offering and communication changed according to the fast-changing situation.

The work of J≺ resulted in an increase of more than 6,000 unique monthly visitors to our website; this increase was achieved through organic activity with no use of advertising.

This is testimony to J≺ knowing their client and its target audience and working with the in-house team.

J≺ allocate their dedicated account managers according to their areas of specialism within the industry and this is evident in the results they achieve.

For me this week I decided to invest in some more social media training. Sure I knew the basics but there were definitely some areas that I felt like "what? Eh?" and could really brush up on my understanding.

I invested in J≺ Ltd social media training and they were INCREDIBLE! I went into the training with specific questions but it can be tailored to your social media knowledge needs.

I have such a clearer understanding of marketing through these platforms now and was super grateful for the tips and hints.

If you're looking at using social media for marketing I would 100% recommend starting up a conversation with them.

Shortly before Covid hit, I met with Kirsty to discuss how J≺ could help us market our new retail business. 4 months later we can finally open our doors. We set about this business having done our market research but until you test your market, you can never be sure.

Kirsty and her team have put together a first class promotion for us and I have been totally blown away by the interest it has generated.

Our social media interest has increased by 15000% already.

But even more importantly, that interest is leading to enquiries and actual sales - the life blood of any business. I genuinely believe J≺ have pushed us three months ahead of target already. A fantastic business to work with and always there to help.

I was absolutely thrilled with the feature that your team produced and have seen a significant increase in the number of social media impressions of the finished article.

In particular, there have been 6k views of the article via my own LinkedIn page and I have also featured in social media promotions from the publishers and other featured Shropshire Business women.

All in all I have been delighted with the way in which your team portrayed both myself and the HR Dept Shropshire! Many thanks again for all your support.
