Executing a traditional PR program to build a company’s public profile – anchored in earned media – has value 💰.
Securing media coverage brings credibility to a company. If journalists are reporting on the company, the outside world perceives the company as important. PR also increases market awareness, obviously a good thing for your sales team.
