Media relations opportunities for AI-related companies

Bottom line, AI transformation is a story worth telling, by focusing on specifics, digging deep to understand and convey how your operations were transformed. Is there data available to illustrate any savings in time or money, or increased productivity? Focusing on specific outcomes always helps tell the story. Here’s a proven playbook of media coverage strategies for every tech company.

Announcing news

An acquisition, fundraise, investment, data report will get coverage more easily, and will help validate your company’s standing in the marketplace, spurring the confidence of potential investors, partners, customers and ultimately users. It also serves as a reliable door opener to business reporters who appreciate and react to news and data.

Launching a product/service

Announcing the launch of a product or service is an excellent time to seek media coverage, especially in the context of the broader landscape. As PR, make sure you have a seat at the table when it comes to the announcement, so you have a chance to weigh in all the relevant details and messaging.

Reporting a milestone

Use metrics of success to tap media relationships you have built over time. Showcasing the company’s performance in context can provoke a story. Incorporating testimonials from happy customers will add to your story.

Newsjacking

There’s so much AI news. Tying into the news enables you to leverage opportunities and make your brand and executives relevant. By inserting smart commentary into the news stream, you will effectively build your reputation as a thought leader.

Announcing a new hire

Industry trade publications routinely share news of executive hires. It’s another momentum builder and communicates that your company is a good place to work.

Seeking reviews

If it’s a product or a platform, users – whether they’re consumers or enterprise – often rely on reviews to choose the right products or partners. It’s important to remember, that negative reviews can be as impactful as positive ones, so be confident about your product before you pitch reviews.

Being recognized

Being included on “best of” lists and winning awards from industry groups is a great way for prospects to find out
about you.

Content creation

Writing bylined articles in the name of key executives or advisors ensures your message is being communicated, and provides a platform for thought leadership and provocative commentary. This can be done in coordination with news announcements to add a measure of timeliness to your efforts.

Reputation-building

Building credibility takes time. It’s important to have the support of outside advocates – investors, the media, analysts, influencers, your peers – and be willing to share thoughtful and insightful comments about the landscape at large, not just your own business. By maintaining solid PR momentum and securing meaningful press coverage, you will build your reputation.
