Process Focus

No defined strategy or process for Public Relations

No established media relationships or process to develop them

Spray and pray. Produce press releases, find targets and send as email attachments

When the “spray & pray” approach doesn’t produce results, focus shifts to building relationships with key influencers

PR process completely focused on delivering insights and value to key influencers, with whom there are excel-lent relationships

Need for a strategy becomes apparent and strategy formulation begins by trial and error

A strategy is in place that has produced some results; Investments are made to increase strategy effectiveness

A sustainable strategy is in place that produces consistent results and creates measurable value

Leadership Unaware of need for or value of PR. Willing to fund press releases for regu-latory compliance only

Awareness of need for PR exists; Part-time responsibility delegated to marketing; Communications begin to trickle out

Recognition that PR is important and making some contribution; Greater leader-ship involvement in some communications

PR is acknowledged as a critical success strategy, understood by all and with strong executive participa-tion and support

Establish PR ObjectivesSTAGE 1

PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN

The purpose of a PR program is to help your organization achieve its business objectives. For this reason, your PR program should have specific, measurable objectives of its own. To embark on some PR initiative just because it seems like a good

idea is to risk lack of understanding among management, which could undermine support for the program.

As you develop your program’s objectives, make sure they meet the following criteria: relevant – they have real meaning and applicability to your business and its objectives, realistic – they are attainable, measurable – they are quantifiable.

STEP 1: Set Your PR Objectives

Page 9: PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN...Advertising Analysis PR Agency RFP Template Strategy Scorecard PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN Framework Leverage the framework below to quickly empower your organization’s

Introduction

Establish PR Objectives

1

Set Your PR Objectives Set Your PR ObjectivesSTEP 1 STEP 1 (cont.)

Set objectives by asking key questions such as: what business goal is management trying to achieve? Objectives are the end game of your efforts to influence your target audience to know, think or feel a certain way or do a certain thing.

Once you’ve identified these objectives, express them using the following framework:

Outputs – these are measures of work, such as issuing a press release or receiving a media placement.

Outtakes – the understanding and, ideally, retention of the messages: did the right people pay attention and accept them?

Outcomes – the “action” step: the result of the PR effort on atti-tudes, opinions and behaviors, where ROI is achieved.

Outgrowths – the “halo” effect or beneficial, unintended conse-quences on reputation, relationships, etc.

Write specific PR objectives, stating them in a way that is relevant, realistic and measurable. Here are some examples:

Output-Oriented Objective: In conjunction with the new product launch, generate 250,000 impressions via placements in online media, technology blogs and national trade publications within three months of the product announcement date.

Outtake-oriented objective: Convince 35% of prospective customers that the key differentiating feature in your new product is a ‘must-have’ feature for products in your market space.

Outcome-Oriented Objective: Trigger 10,000 downloads of the free trial version of your new software product within three months of launch.

Outgrowth-oriented objective: Because Outgrowth results are unintended, it is difficult if not impossible to set objectives for them in advance. However, when they do occur, track and report them. Examples of Outgrowth results include partnership opportunities or merger discussions.

With objectives established, you should now assess your organization’s ability to achieve them by assessing your current state of Public Relations readiness across each of these process categories:

media awareness, positioning, internal support, expertise, process, relationships.

STEP 1: Audit Your State of PR Readiness

STEP 2: Prioritize Areas for Improvement

STEP 3: Allocate Resources with PR Expertise

Allocate Resources with PR Expertise

Action Item

Acquire the expertise you need to run a successful PR program.

Many companies starting up their PR program lack the in-house expertise to do so. Because of the highly visible nature of PR, it is not recommended that someone learn PR skills and protocols “on-the-job”. Following are a few options:

1. Hire a Qualified PR Professional – use the Media Specialist Job Description template.

2. Contract with a Qualified Freelance Professional – an ideal approach for small to medium businesses starting out.

3. Enter a Relationship with an Agency – best suited for medium to large companies where PR is a strategic initiative. Use the PR Agency RFP Template and PR Agency Selection Tool to help find the ideal agency.

Understand Your AudienceSTAGE 3

PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN

There are two audiences you must study and understand to have PR success: The audience (market segment) to whom your products and solutions are targeted – your buyers. The media that reach this audience with their content.

Traditionally, a PR program focused only on members of the media (earned media). In this era of channels for self-publishing content, such as blogs and social media, companies own channels

(owned media) that directly reach their target audience.

STEP 1: Define Your Target Audience Profiles

STEP 2: Listen to Target Audience Conversations

STEP 3: Create a Database of Media Contacts

STEP 4: Identify Editorial Calendar Opportunities

Page 15: PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN...Advertising Analysis PR Agency RFP Template Strategy Scorecard PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN Framework Leverage the framework below to quickly empower your organization’s

End Users – what are they looking for in a product?

Economic Buyers – how can you prove ROI?

Technical Evaluators – what assurances do they need?

Define Your Target Audience Profiles Listen to Target Audience ConversationsSTEP 1 STEP 2

Action Item Action Item

Use our Customer Profile Template to create fictional personas or profiles for the key audiences you intend to target with your communications and PR efforts.

Monitor traditional media and social media to understand what is being said about you.

This may include online conversations or stories about your:

Company

Products

Competitors

Market space

What are the typical profiles that need to be created?

V I E W R E S O U R C E

A social media monitoring tool can ensure you’re catching every-

thing of importance that is said online. Google Alerts is a free

option that is easy to set up and help you start your monitoring

process. You will use the intelligence you gather to help you craft

relevant, intelligent messages during Stage 4.

Craft Your Key MessagesSTAGE 4

PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN

Before you initiate any communication with the media, determine what you need to say to them. You should identify a few primary messages that you’ll infuse into all your external communications. These messages will:

Create impact through consistency — repeatedly emitting news and communications that contain these messages will help your target audience fully understand your value proposition. Reinforce your market position — your key messages will help your target audience know when and why they should choose you.

You will probably want to define key messages at both the company level and product level.

STEP 1: Define Your Positioning Statement

STEP 2: Draft & Prioritize Key Messages

STEP 3: Schedule & Prepare Communications

STEP 4: Standardize Press Release Formatting

Helps your market see how your product is different from competitors – generating prospects becomes easier as a result.

Without strong positioning, it takes much more time & money to show prospects why they should buy from you – this forces you to compete on the basis of price, which is not sustainable.

Message maps provide a method for brainstorming and priori-tizing potential messages based on their credibility, effectiveness and resonance.

Once you have analyzed the relative strengths and weaknesses of each message, a bubble chart message map is automatically generated.

Define Your Positioning Statement Draft & Prioritize Key Messages

Use the Positioning Statement Worksheet to define a positioning statement that describes your product, defines its differentiation and shows how you will create value for customers.

Use the Message Mapping Tool to document the key messages that are important for your target audience to hear about your company or its products.

What does strong positioning do for you? What is a message map?

PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN

Now that your PR program plan is drafted, you’ll need to estimate the costs to implement it, as well as determine how to measure the results. It is important to track your competitors as well as your own media coverage to see who is influencing the market space, and what messages

and market positions are being established.

Traditionally, many organizations have used the metric of “Ad Value Equivalency” to measure the effectiveness of their PR program. While this method can provide a rough indicator of success, it has many limitations. Demand Metric advises clients to abandon this method and opt for

more modern tracking mechanisms that include the tone and overall impact of the placement. Nevertheless, we have clients who continue to use this method so we have included this as an optional step.

This is a metric that measures what your editorial coverage would have cost if it were advertising space or time.

Action Item

Use our Competitive PR and Advertising Analysis to track your PR and advertising programs, and those of your top competitors, to determine Ad Spend to Ad Value Equiva-lency ratios.

As an alternative to Ad Equivalency Value, measure and track the cost per impression. While impressions are truly only impressions if someone sees a media placement, the metric is still valid.

Components:

Cost: the total cost of producing the media placement.

Impressions: the total number of potential or actual impressions from a media placement, e.g. a newspaper with a circulation of 750,000 offers that same number of potential impressions.

What is Ad Value Equivalency (AVE)?

Helpful Hint – Demand Metric does not endorse this measurement method. A major issue with it is that stories can be positive or negative. View the Institute of PR’s official posi-tion on this metric by clicking here.
