Tech start-ups need specialist Irish PR agencies

The entrepreneurial spirit in Ireland is rife. Last year alone, 20,000 new companies were registered.

However, start-ups and small businesses must be prepared to start PR at home before jumping into another market.

The Irish tech sector continues to go from strength to strength, accounting for 37,000 Irish jobs and generating €35 billion in exports each year.

It’s hard to believe, but Comit celebrated turning 20 this week!

PR success in an instant world

We are living in a ‘hypermodern’ society, characterised by a culture of hyper consumption, hyper change and hyper individualism. This society in overdrive can be seen through the array of media constantly impacting almost everything we do. We consume sporting events, political debates and TV shows, not just through the action unfolding before us, but also a stream of related social media posts in the palm of our hand, online forums and live web analysis. All of this results in new challenges and opportunities for PR agencies, as well as the overall communications profession.

As the chosen PR agency of leading Irish and multinational tech companies, the Comit team jumped at the chance to raise some much-needed funds with our fellow techies.

Four keys to PR success – Specialist PR agencies maximise ROI

Simply sending out a few press releases or hiring a PR agency won’t guarantee those important things. Businesses need to ensure that their communications are consistent, targeted and impactful.
