Journalists seeking story ideas

The rise and rise of inbound PR

Are you sending 300-word press releases to journalists inboxes that must be overflowing with similar media releases? The returns on that PR technique have been diminishing for many years. It’s part of the reason why there has been so much discussion about the demise of the press release. But what’s the alternative for getting the attention of journalists? The answer is inbound PR.

Thought leadership in the health sector

Becoming the ‘go to’ expert on a health subject or issue

The last two years have seen the emergence of a new class of health media experts. Whether politicians, government-appointees, doctors, researchers or subject specialists, the media landscape has been dominated by a relatively small group of subject experts.

You could have access to your own health subject or issue experts to build your organisation's reputation and trust through the media…if they had the right forum to demonstrate their skills and knowledge.

Thought leaders’ symbiotic relationship with the media

Thought leaders live here

Those who are thought of as thought leaders don’t live in caves. They live in public perception. Public perception of thought leaders is crafted more through the media than any other source. Your blog and social media may help, but PR and media relations have the biggest impact.
