In a time where information reigns supreme, the strategic use of proprietary data in PR and marketing is not just an advantage — it's essential. As data-driven storytelling has become a cornerstone for success, PR and marketing professionals must learn how to properly gather, analyze and derive this information to help create stronger messages, bring more credibility, and garner greater media attention for clients. Otherwise, a huge opportunity is being missed, one data point at a time.
As the business world becomes more competitive, it is increasingly important to have a unique edge that sets you apart from the competition. In today's media landscape, data is highly valued. The most credible media outlets look to data as a source of objective information that supports their reporting. By providing journalists with valuable data, you increase the likelihood that they will cover your story or interview you as an expert in your field. Developing a report and hosting it on your website, making it available for download, and issuing a press release to relevant media contacts sharing highlights of your research are all effective ways to get your data in front of journalists.
