You would be forgiven for thinking that a PR agency is a PR agency, no matter the industry or area, and this is true to a certain extent. However, there are many different types of PR to consider: B2B PR (business-to-business) B2C PR (business-to-consumer) internal, public affairs, crisis management, publicity… the list goes on! And while many of the necessary skills are transferrable, moving between these areas can mean big changes.
The risk of a cyber-attack can never be 100% eliminated in a digital world, but it can be minimised and planned for. The recent cyberattack on Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE) has destroyed the IT systems exposing the public stakeholders and government to a higher degree of cyber threats. The fact is, both big and small businesses are at a risk, and business leaders have a responsibility to plan for the inevitable.
When you aren’t used to being in the spotlight, media interviews can be a daunting and sometimes stressful prospect. But that doesn’t have to be the case, and that is where we come in. As one of Ireland’s top tech PR agencies, we can show you that with a little skill and savvy, you can turn an interview with an intrepid reporter into a PR coup, turning you into a thought leader and increasing your brand awareness.
PR is an amazing tool to let people know about your brand. Comit has been in the business for more than two decades yet one of the most common questions we get is – how to choose the right PR agency. We’ve heard it at meetings, events and while networking with people who don’t have a PR agency.
It’s been a long ol’ year and it’s not over yet! As Ireland’s leading tech PR agency, we’ve had an exceptionally busy 12 months helping our clients help their clients with connectivity, innovation and digital transformation - all essential for life in lockdown. Whether it’s for work or socialising, tech has never been more important in our daily lives. Our team has put together a list of their favourite pieces of technology that has made these lockdowns that little bit easier to get through.
So how has 2021 started for everyone- or do we dare ask?! We normally post our review of the previous year in the first week of January but we got sidetracked with lots of planning meetings and no shortage of exciting client announcements to kick start the new year. We’ve also been interviewing lots of great people for our growing team of technology PR and content specialists at Comit and we’ll have good news to share on that front soon.
We are exposed to the fruits of public relations every single day, in every medium -- TV, newspapers, radio, on social media, and in magazines. It’s a growing industry. Never before have so many people and businesses been in the public eye. However, despite views to the contrary, not all PR is good PR!
A year ago, I decided that after 17 years in broadcast journalism working for Newstalk and RTÉ among others, it was time for a change. I still had a passion for media but wanted to broaden my horizons and deploy my skills in a new environment. Transitioning to the world of PR was the obvious choice as there are many commonalities across both lines of work.
Writer and thought leader, Robin S. Sharma once said: “Awareness precedes choice and choice precedes results.” PR is key to enabling you raise that awareness.
