It goes without saying (or at least, it should) that corporate PR and internal communications go hand in hand. Your employees are perhaps your most important group of stakeholders. So, everything you tell the outside world, you should tell your collaborators first. Always. No exceptions.

Collaborate

We can reach the best possible PR-results by delivering strong and relevant information and data to media and stakeholders. Our focus is always gathering telling newsworthy stories.

Every day we're in close contact and keeping in touch with your context. This means we monitor on a daily basis and use news as a trigger for own news and creative communications.

Role of PR

PR is key in becoming and staying top of mind with your relevant audiences. Positioning yourself in the market through news, top topicals and stories connected to a local context.

There's a definite complementarity between PR and marketing but they serve different purposes. Commercial messages are not acceptable of relevant for media. While marketing drives your commercial funnel, pr build reputation and brand preference.
