Ten22
Ten22 Recap: HIMSS19 Revenue Cycle Solutions Summit – Erin Wabol, Chief Marketing Officer at Agency Ten 22 (@AgencyTen22) writes, Held one day before the HIMSS19 Conference kickoff, the Revenue Cycle Solutions Summit covered twelve sessions in eight hours. Here is my take on the topics covered on stage, and off.
Gabriel Marketing Group
How Tech PR Firms Increase Brand Awareness with Targeted Trade Coverage – Michael Tebo, Sr Counselor/Acct Supervisor at Garbriel Marketing Group (@GabrielMrktg) says, “I want to be in The New York Times!” If I had a dollar for every time a CEO made this declaration during a kickoff meeting, I’d probably be in Jamaica right now. But I digress…It’s natural for clients to want to command attention from the nation’s top news outlets. But, for most – especially those working in B2B industries – a quote in The New York Times can be more of an ego boost than a tactical move toward a sales or revenue goal.
Podcasts in Public Relations Strategy: Effective or Overhyped? – Nothing goes with a brutal morning commute or workout session better than a killer podcast. They create a unique sense of familiarity between the podcaster and the listener and reach 73 million Americans monthly. Yet, when it comes to tech PR strategy, we ask ourselves: where’s the value? Should we jump through hoops pursuing podcast interviews, or is it a waste of time?
Bospar
PR blogging in 2018: what did we learn? – Tricia Heinrich, Chief Content Officer at Bospar (@BosparPR) says, As the leader of a content creation team, I am always looking for ways to improve the quality of our work product and drive engagement and results for our clients. A key responsibility of mine is to manage Bospar’s own blog and drive agency marketing with thought-leading posts that keep our clients and associates informed and in touch with what’s happening in the agency world.
Greenough
Using Visuals in 2019 Marketing and PR Storytelling – From the Greenough (@GreenoughPR) blog – “This will be the year of video.” “Infographics will rule this year.” “Visual storytelling will dominate.” You’ve already seen variations of these “predictions” written hundreds of times since last fall. It’s likely you’ve been asked “what’s our strategy for video?” or “what’s our budget for visuals?” The trap is being set: You’re about to spend money without a clear strategy or direction.
10Fold
Rising Above the Thought Leadership Noise: The Key is Applicable Content – Drew Smith, from 10Fold (@10FoldComms) says, The phenomenon of over-marketing is in no way a new concept – as long as humans have had the ability to communicate, we’ve been using it for some kind of gain. In fact, we’re willing to bet that the deafening levels of marketing noise played a role in the birth of thought leadership. Joel Kurtzman, who coined the term thought leadership, defined a thought leader as someone who has “some new important ideas that are worth sharing and that have real application… When I think of thought leaders, I think of people who are coming up with creative new insights that can be applied.”
