Quote

“I think ultimately, the biggest disruption is going to be how the largest agencies are billing and justifying the fees they get and I think at the smaller level it’s going to get a little easier to be more nimble because you haven’t pinned your hopes and dreams on a model that is antiquated in the age of AI.”– Parry Headrick, founder of Crackle PR

“Every person in your company who uses Microsoft Office will now have access to a language model and will be able to do things like make a 10-slide presentation out of this press release or tell me what’s important in this Excel spreadsheet. Tell me what the outcome was. And the models will do that instead. So it will dramatically shorten the time it takes people to do work and everyone is going to have to get good at this because it’s going to be built into Office, it’s already built into your search engines and it’s going to be appearing in pretty much every piece of software that’s complex to use.” – Chris Penn, co-founder and chief data scientist at Trust Insights

Digital PR stands for Digital Press Relations. Learn how you can use it to promote your company and reach more customers.

Digital PR can be used by all types of business, from small local businesses (dentists, plumbers, etc) to large multi-national chains. It’s used to promote a company’s brand so that more people are aware of the products or services they offer, normally by promoting a recent story about the brand or something special or unique about them.

Digital PR is incredibly useful within digital marketing as it not only helps to increase brand awareness, it also contributes to other important areas like Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

Press coverage usually comes with a link to the mentioned business, business owner, or business representative. As links are a large part of how SEO works, these links are crucial. When coverage gets wide attraction, the higher the number of links. The more (good quality) links a website has, the more likely it is to appear at the top of Google for important phrases potential customers may be typing.
