Our services

Whether you’re looking for tech PR, consumer PR or corporate PR, whether you're a multi-national or start-up, every business is unique and so a PR programme should be unique too. We will dedicate time to understand your company to create a tailored programme that meets your specific needs.

We won't try and make you pay for tactics that you don't need, instead we will use our experience to create a bespoke PR programme from the range of services we offer. These include:

Advertorial placement and creation

A key consumer PR tactic, advertorials are written to reflect the editorial style and content of a publication and are an excellent way to deliver your campaign messages in a controlled yet creative way. We have a wealth of experience working on advertorials in both consumer and business press and can help you use creative media solutions effectively.

Analyst relations

Industry analysts wield incredible influence in the world of technology and engaging with them should be a key part of any tech PR programme. Rise PR can identify the analysts you need to speak with, get you in front of them and help you with what to say.

Award entries

Your product or service may be outstanding and worthy of wider recognition, but achieving that recognition is another matter entirely. We can not only identify and recommend which awards are likely to benefit your organisation, but we also know the tricks of the trade that will allow your award entry to stand out from the crowd.

Campaign & strategy planning

Whilst a stack of monthly press cuttings is all well and good, we don’t believe in coverage for the sake of it. We will work with you to devise a PR strategy that supports your business goals and will deliver you the desired return on your investment.

Copywriting

Creating attention-grabbing copy is one of the most sought-after disciplines in PR. Our writing experience covers press releases, white papers, brochures, websites, feature articles, speeches, newsletters and much much more.

Crisis and issues management

You can only lose your reputation once so the ability to respond quickly and effectively in a crisis requires a particular skill-set. Preparation is key and Rise PR can help you at the planning and risk assessment stage, all the way through to the calm and collected implementation of those plans when you really need it.

Event support

From trade exhibitions and industry events to consumer shows, there are many events that offer opportunities for commercial involvement. We can help you align your brand with the right events and advise on how to make the most of that event, working with you on every aspect from event set up and logistics to press office and media relations.

Media monitoring

Not only do you need to know what is being said about you but media monitoring will help you measure success. We can offer cost-effective solutions to track mention of you and your competitors, both in traditional and online media.

Media relations

Securing positive articles in the press remains a major objective for many organisations and in a lot of agencies is left to more junior staff. The Rise PR team is hugely experienced in dealing with national, broadcast, business, trade, regional and consumer press. We know what gets the media interested and how best to deliver stories to them.

Media training

Knowing what to say and how to say it can be hard for even the most seasoned spokesperson. We offer bespoke media training designed to deliver confident and articulate spokespeople that can deliver your messages clearly and precisely but with their personality remaining intact.

Messaging

Having messages with which to approach external audiences should be the basis on which communications programmes are founded – it isn’t always. At Rise PR we help you create messages that will be clear enough to resonate with the media and compelling enough to capture the interest of your target audience.

Product launches

Creating media buzz and consumer or business desire is pivotal to any product launch. We can recommend a variety of tactics to help you create that buzz and desire, whether that is nationally, regionally or amongst a particular trade audience.

Social & digital media

The emergence of digital PR has changed the nature of communications, but we won’t recommend a Facebook campaign just because you think you need one. Digital communication needs to integrate with your overall programme and might not always be suitable for a business. But when it is, Rise PR has the expertise and digital knowledge to take you direct to your audience and generate online buzz.

Speaker programmes

If you want to position your company spokesperson as a thought leader in your industry, speaker opportunities are an effective way to raise your profile. At Rise PR we can help you identify one off speaker opportunities or an ongoing programme and support you in these opportunities negotiating speaker slots, recommending discussion topics and drafting speeches.
