How to Get Covered in the Press in St. Paul and Minneapolis

We work with law firms and other professional services organizations as well as financial services practitioners to create and implement proactive public relations initiatives and campaigns to extend the reach of a strategic marketing plan. Doing this successfully may involve approaching local news outlets, national publications or broadcasters, or industry and trade magazines and newsletters.

But public relations can be more than merely getting a client quoted by the news media. To us, it might also entail creating a profile in a practitioner’s community, in the industry where they have unique expertise, finding business, charitable or social service boards where they might serve, and even volunteer opportunities.

Defined broadly, we see “public relations” as involving every opportunity to build the profile of our clients.

Professional services marketing entails a PR strategy to enhance the outreach of a lawyer or financial services professional. In a comprehensive PDF titled “Why Was That Lawyer Quoted? Tips To Secure Positive Press Coverage”, author PSM Founder & President Terrie S. Wheeler, MBC explains how services professionals can lay down an outline for building a successful PR strategy.

Here are a few starting steps the article highlights:

  • Setting a PR Objective- It helps professionals to set an objective for their PR strategy. This way, they become clear about their goals and are able to chalk out a well-planned strategy that does not go haywire.
  • Know Your Audience- The next best step is to decide on a prospect persona. Who is the ideal prospect you want to market to? Your audiences decide the reporters who market and speak to them. Before determining the audience, you cannot pick a PR agency or a publication.
  • Know Your Standout Message- Why should a media agency listen to you? It helps professionals to decide why they are different than the rest of the crowd. This is your USP and is integral to your PR strategy.

At PSM, we take upon us the task of building a media space for you. We analyze and then implement. This is why we call ourselves a strategic marketing firm.
