Use Digital Media To Keep Your       Brand Afloat During Covid-19

Using Digital Media
​Does Your Business Need a P.R. Boost? A lot of you do with Covid-19 causing mass disruptions in business. Many of your clients and customers struggle to even get outside let alone shop or consult for services. Here are some great tips I found to help you get a digital media public relations campaign moving in your favor. I am not saying you have to launch each and everyone right now or do them all together. Piece Meal what can work for you within your time limitations and budget. Digital media is dominating storytelling. In the wake of Covid-19, it’s more important than ever to tell your brand story for the digital age. Digital PR efforts can prove to be a cost-effective method to share your brand with a larger audience.

Here are seven digital PR techniques I found to help you tell your brand story.

1. Video
Video is a great way to tell a story without forcing someone to read a wall of text. You combine visual appeal with a verbal message to gain a viewer’s attention.
Short-form and long-form videos are growing in popularity due to their attention-grabbing nature. Use videos for brand messaging through employee spotlights, office culture features, and personal interviews. Video connects your audience to your brand by allowing them to experience behind-the-scenes content.

2. Social Media
While video engages viewers, social media allows prospects to interact with your brand. Social media is versatile in its storytelling capabilities. Likes, comments and stories — any and all social media features — make it simple for users to interact. 
Are you fun? Serious? Think out of the box? The way your brand interacts with people reflects your story. Leverage the unique strengths of each platform to enhance your brand story. Instagram, for example, is great for sharing visual content, while Twitter is better for facilitating conversations. Even LinkedIn’s Slideshare has beautiful storytelling features. Even TikTok can be a fun engagement tool if you have a younger audience or customer base. Once you know your brand story, share it on the right social platforms, and leverage their native tool-sets.

3. Influencers
Influencers can be an extension of your brand. They can help you reach a target audience that may not have heard of your brand otherwise. Why are influencers necessary for digital PR? Because your brand shouldn’t be the only one doing the talking.
An influencer also gives a face to your brand story, so pick your influencers wisely. Find those people who support the same qualities, causes and values as your brand. Remember, you are telling a story. Much like selecting actors to fit a screenplay, brands need to find the right people to bring the story to life.

4. Blogs
Tell your brand story on your blog. Enlist employees, customers and other stakeholders to contribute blog content that is relevant and timely to your industry. 
Why invite external blog contributors? Because audiences are more likely to believe your brand story if you encourage real users to contribute authentic content. It also reinforces the idea that you value stakeholder opinions and that they are a part of your brand story. 
Like social media, blogs are versatile, so don’t be afraid to experiment with your writing and topics. Just keep posts relevant, timely and aligned with your messaging.

5. Community Panels
Contribute expert insights to external websites by participating on community panels. A community panel rounds up insights from industry experts and combines their thoughts into a cohesive article. You can typically find opportunities to participate in community panels on sites such as your local chamber of commerce, Non-Profits, or even local government agencies. These articles not only provide exposure but also serve as a platform on which to build authority and awareness for your brand.

6. Thought Leadership Articles
A thoughtful article that dives deep into a particular industry topic can usually find a happy home on an external site. Editors typically welcome unique perspectives and expert insights to be posted on their site. 
Everyone is an expert on something. Penning a thought leadership article provides an opportunity to not only establish expertise but to introduce your brand to a new audience. Identify what you are an expert in, and then pitch an authentic story idea to a few industry sites. Chances are if the idea hasn’t already been covered, then you’ll uncover an opportunity to publish an article.

7. Un-linked Mentions
An un-linked mention means your brand is referenced online, but the content is not tagged or linked back to a brand asset such as a website or social media account. Adding a link within this content adds to the story.
Reach out to the publisher to see if they will the content with a link back to your website. That way, their readers can learn more about your brand while filling in some of the gaps that may exist in the original content. These opportunities exist on social sites like Twitter, blog posts, and even on major news channels. 

Where To Go From Here
Brands want opportunities to share their stories. These digital PR techniques highlight some of the readily available ways for marketers to utilize the platforms and partners around them.
Consider creating assets such as video and social content. Enlist the help of external influencers and internal stakeholders. Then, get involved in the conversation with community panels, thought leadership articles, and un-linked mentions. The end result is a more authentic, sustainable way to build your brand on
