Key Takeaways

Her presentation provides a comprehensive overview of PR, practical steps for implementation, and emphasises the importance of storytelling in building a lasting reputation.

Understanding PR:

Understanding PR involves recognizing that it is not just about getting featured in media but managing your brand's reputation and visibility in a way that creates a positive perception among your target audience. Effective PR is a blend of increasing your visibility and managing your reputation, aiming to win the hearts and minds of your ideal audience. It’s about creating a strategic presence in various media platforms and ensuring that your brand is consistently recognized and respected.

Storytelling:

Storytelling is a crucial element in PR, as it has the power to bring about social change and transform businesses. By sharing both personal and professional stories, you can create a strong, relatable connection with your audience. Embracing vulnerability in your storytelling makes your brand more authentic and trustworthy. Odette emphasizes the importance of sharing stories that resonate with your audience and reflect the values and mission of your business.

DIY PR Strategies:

DIY PR strategies are effective and can be implemented by anyone willing to put in the effort. Start by leveraging social media to share your business stories and insights regularly. Writing opinion editorials for reputable publications can also help build your credibility as an expert in your field. Building relationships with journalists and editors through social media is another essential strategy. By fostering these relationships, you increase your chances of getting your stories picked up by the media. Personalizing your pitches and being resilient in your follow-ups are key components to successfully getting your story noticed.
