5 Steps to
Consider from ASPectx
-
Determine
your demographic audience for this public relations campaign. Do
your fact-finding or hire expertise to assist in competitive
intelligence research.

Determine
how this demographic audience receives its information for
decision-making. Discuss key media that this audience may use in
decision-making, as well as other methods for reaching these
targets.
-
Identify
key aspects of your business, product or service that could benefit
from promotion.

Be
clear about your goals for the campaign. Select opportunities to
promote your company brand, product or service with a review of
