Why Christian PR Matters for Faith-Based Brands
The value of PR done well continues to deliver the biggest reach for the best budget value in all of the marketing disciplines. A quality PR campaign will impact your target audiences, telling your story to them right where they congregate.
PR is about earning media coverage.
The articles, interviews, and placements that are the results of PR are called Earned Media. The Faith and Family market is unique and requires specific messaging and strategy that resonates with the hearts and minds of the faith-based and family audiences.
One interview on a major outlet reaches more people in 10 minutes than what you could likely afford to pay for in advertising. PR is the single most necessary marketing tool in just about any marketing arsenal. For example, while not every book will be picked for Oprah’s Book Club, the one that is… well, you’ve seen what happens.
PR is about telling your story in a compelling way.
It’s about formulating the right hooks and pitching them to the writers, editors, and producers who are the gatekeepers for the audiences at their radio stations, publications, blogs, television shows, and so on. It’s been said that in life, it’s not about “what” you know but “who” you know. That is certainly true in faith-based public relations.
PR is about relationships.
Our Christian PR firm is a knowledgeable, experienced team of professionals with active relationships in the industry ready to work for you. Working with a team means more relationships are in play for you to benefit from. It takes more than just “a PR person” to achieve mass market results. Our Christian PR firm works together to create your unique PR plan, creating a media package based on your best attributes and directing your messaging through our custom process into a series of press releases and other connection points. It’s not the same as having a press release worked by a single individual and certainly much more than merely writing and servicing a press release through a wire service. If you are also utilizing our Social Marketing and Media Buying services, you benefit further from a fully integrated and synergized team of people who are very comfortable working together across all of the key marketing functions.
