What do you have in mind or what do you expect out of your strategy?  Identifying your business strategy goal is a process, who is your preferred client? There may be more than one, rank your objectives in order of their importance. This will go a long way in devising the right strategy. It may turn out that a secondary target could be more easily attainable requiring to modify the ranking order of importance. 

Of course, you want to be known and recognized by your clients. However, what is one thing that you want to focus on? Do you want to increase your brand awareness? Or do you want to increase your revenue? And so forth.

Before moving on to creating any strategy, make sure to define your goals and objectives, be methodical, don’t be afraid to shift away from the old because the science available suggests that you should. The beauty of digital PR is that every click, impression and action taken by a consumer can be studied and will help refine the campaign, test and retest. 

Now that you have finalized the goal and objective. This is where you become a profiler. The next thing you need to determine is whether your target audience relates to the profiled interests that you have identified.

To understand this, you need to be aware of your target audience’s desires and wants. You need to engage and establish communication with your preferred avatar. Your PR campaign should be designed in a way that clicks with your target audience. For instance, if your avatar is college students, you need to design a plan that connects with them.

The more you know about your audience's likes and dislikes, the more you will be able to identify with them, reach and communicate with them. This is the next most important step in realizing your successful digital PR campaign.

  • Find Your Brand Voice

  3. Tactical content: This is a more reformed type of content that includes resources, link building, and citation work.

Overall, there is no barrier to content creation. You can either use one or combine multiples to build an effective strategy. The only thing you need to remember is to optimize your content for SEO and check it properly before launching it.
