04/13/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Here are some avoidable mistakes when approaching the media:

Lack of research: if you don't know the media representatives and the topics they cover, you may be sending the wrong information to the wrong people or not presenting your story in a way that is of interest to their target audience.

Unclear message: an unclear or overly complex message may result in your pitch not being understood by media representatives or your story not being interesting enough to be printed.

Poor communication: poor communication with media representatives, such as sending spam emails or ignoring requests, can result in your future efforts being ignored.

Unprofessional demeanor: Unprofessional behavior, such as making unreasonable demands or acting unprepared in interviews, can cause media representatives to lose interest in your story.

Inadequate preparation: not putting enough time and effort into your media approach can result in your story being incomplete or inaccurate, which can lead to negative reviews.

Lack of strategy: if you don't have a clear strategy for how you want to convey your story to media representatives, you may not get the results you want.

By avoiding these avoidable media outreach mistakes and having a clear strategy and message, you can successfully convey your story to media representatives and achieve positive coverage for your company or organization.

What are avoidable mistakes at a PR agency?

04/10/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

There are many avoidable mistakes that can occur with a PR agency, and some of them are:

Failing to have a strategy:

If the PR agency does not have a clear strategy or guidelines for their activities, they may have difficulty developing effective campaigns for their clients.

Failure to research: if the PR agency does not do enough research before launching a campaign, this can lead to a lack of knowledge of the target audience or relevant media.

Unclear message: if the PR agency does not communicate the message clearly and concisely, or if it is not aligned with the target audience, this can lead to a lack of impact or even negative perception.

Failure to cultivate relationships: if the PR agency does not cultivate good relationships with journalists, influencers or other key players in the industry, this can lead to low interest in their clients' campaigns.

Failure to measure: If the PR agency is not using appropriate metrics or tracking, it can be difficult to measure or evaluate the success of a campaign.

Wrong prioritization: if the PR agency sets the wrong priorities or if it focuses too much on its own agenda rather than on the needs of its clients, this can lead to a lack of campaign success.

Failure to be flexible: If the PR agency is not flexible enough to respond to changes in the market or media landscape, this can lead to a lack of adaptability and affect the success of the campaigns.

It is important to be aware of these avoidable mistakes and take appropriate steps to minimize or avoid them to ensure successful PR campaigns and effective collaboration with clients.

Missing variables: If important variables are not included in the analysis, the results may not be complete.
