Content Types For Enhancing Public Relations And Marketing

By George Hornet


Content has always been one of the key parts of successful Public Relations. Nonetheless, the PR gurus who fail to get deeper into content strategy, development and measurement swiftly and efficiently, will find themselves left behind as PR takes a new dimension.

In the past 12 years, the world of media relations and PR has experienced massive changes. This is attributed to ubiquitous internet access, social technologies and gadgets. This has made it possible for internet access from any location.

This connectivity has opened ways for both consumers and brands to do everything business-related from any area at whatever time. Devices that can access the internet have enhanced how humans are able to interact with technology. This has had a positive impact on spreading of information.

Influencers are no longer tied to just industry news publications and media because, individuals are now able to develop social networks and publish information to an audience that is similar to or better than what the traditional publication can reach. The fact that you can connect with experts from different niches helps create a better publication. Having useful content strengthens the relationship between you and the niche influencers.

More companies are making the content marketing stronger so as to boost media. The same is aimed at securing the earned media. They are hiring corporate journalists and editors who will help provide better content than what has been provided over the years.

The ability to access the internet anytime has made it possible for the media to get closer to its audience comprising of both consumers and publishers. These consumers now want to take part in news creation. This has led to a mutual relationship with the media and consumers leading to co-creation of content.

There are numerous content types that are built in search and social optimisation. This is essential especially due to the limited content production resources. The following are some of the types of content that can have a considerable positive effect in your marketing strategy.

Evergreen content

This is content that can stand the test of time. It serves as a relevant resource to everyone at all times.

Co-Created content

Leader relationships in the market and niche are strengthened by co-creating content in conjunction with a brand. The need for self exposure by participants presents a built-in social promotion component to the content object. You can also use prominent partners and customers when co-creating content.

Curated content

A number of companies create a significant amount of content. However, this is not curated to the best level. These companies could also use curated external content.

Repurposed content

It is normal and okay to repost a press release as a blog post and succeed in it. However, it is much better to completely plan the repurposed content in an editorial plan. This is the best way to optimise and maximise how far the information can reach and its value.3
