A man of exemplary vision and enterprise Nikhil Singhal, Managing Director, Vigor Media Worldwide, shares that PR needs to be shifted from mere media relation model to reputation management model which is comparatively more strategic, broader and long-term approach but a crux of various constructive metrics.
It is imperative to understand that Public Relation may not reflect a quick impact on the brand, products or business but it certainly keeps adding the very important factor i.e. Credibility. With every step taken forward, PR professionals strive to secure earned media (be it traditional or modern) which in itself is a filtration exercise to take your brand to validators who provide an authentic, third-party perspective for prospective stakeholders.
In current times, when the world is grappling with life-threatening disease, businesses are tempted to reduce on a marketing budget to preserve cash flow. But in my view, its time not to panic but to act strategically and consider, what we know as the “exposure effect”. Keeping a brand in front of consumers could help improve the perception of a brand even if they’re not buying right now.
A slight change in the content approach is a need of the hour wherein we need to focus on what are customers want to read or listen to and not what brands want to tell them. This reassures the old customers that their favorite brand is still standing with them in this tough time and establish an image for the new customers who relate credibility with emotional quotient. Even if, it takes a slight troll on the financials, it will certainly pay back with a strong brand reputation in the market and customers will relate more personally with the brand, ultimately resulting in a growth trajectory of a brand which is a sole goal of every marketing campaign.
Nikhil further shares that, “It is time to give back to the society and invest in your customers. A well-laid marketing campaign and plans might have to be pushed back but a little time should be taken out to utilise those budget in giving back to the society and reach out to the customers with more sensitive messages which are honest, transparent, and human; most essential reach out to them with support instead of leaving them alone or neglected in this tough time.”
We, at, Vigor Media Worldwide, also have altered PR campaigns of all our clients in consultation with them; to help them navigate through this pandemic without compromising on their reputation in the market. It’s essential for all of us to be compassionate towards people, and we as consultants, understand that we have to respond to the world as it is, as it changes — not the world we wish it was, or the world it used to be and that’s what we call our EXPERTISE which makes us different.
