Our guide to understanding the complicated world of PR for business in a digital age.

Complicated world of digital PRSOMETIMES it seems as though you simply don’t have enough pairs of hands.

It’s a sinking feeling you’ll be familiar with if you own or run a successful business.

Often one of the first things to suffer as a result is that all important reputation. After all, whose got time to take care of your profile while you’re taking care of business?

It used to be so simple, didn’t it? Take out a listing in the Yellow Pages, maybe place an advert in local newspapers or radio stations and possibly send out the occasional press release with a photo attached. Bob’s your uncle.

Now it’s just too damn complicated. Which online news sites are credible? Which bloggers should you be reaching out to? How do you tell your story effectively on social media? Were and when do you need photography? How about video. And just what is the point of Pinterest or Instagram exactly? Does anyone even send out “press releases” anymore?

So many questions. So much to think about. Who needs the hassle, eh?
