While technology can be fun and interesting, it’s even better when it also solves a problem.
If you’ve spent months or even years in development, having the tech work like it’s supposed to is thrilling. But if you aren’t reaching your target audience, all the perfectly performing technology in the world won’t matter.
That’s why you need to invest in a tech public relations strategy to give your new technology the publicity it needs to succeed.
Building Brand Awareness
If Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg leads your company, chances are that everyone on the planet will hear about your new technology. But if you’re like the more than 75,600 tech companies that start up in the United States each year, news about your invention might get drowned out.
And, while it’s great to have an ad campaign for your product, it may remain hidden on the market.
But a PR team that understands the value of a properly written case study is a must. A great case study attracts both tech media and potential buyers. A case study not only helps you build brand awareness, it also shows customers how it can solve their problems.
Focusing on Your Market
While it’s true that tech PR is similar to regular PR on the surface, it is different in its approach. Public relations is about telling your company’s story, and in tech PR, it’s also about solving an issue.
Most C-suite buyers will be quite familiar with the problem they need to solve. But that doesn’t mean they will automatically understand how your platform helps them do that.
For many tech companies, explaining how your platform solves their problem is a difficult task. It can sometimes leave a potential buyer with more questions than answers. Technology often uses its own language, and this jargon doesn’t always translate well into business value.
But with a real-world case study, you can demonstrate the impact of your product in terms business leaders can understand. Telling the story of real clients who have benefited from your technology provides buyers with a level of authenticity they can’t see in technical jargon.
Writing and Promoting Case Studies
A case study isn’t going to be effective if it can’t be understood by anyone who doesn’t have a computer science degree. You need a professional writer who understands the technology and can take that information and make it digestible for the average consumer.
Once the case study is written, a PR partner knows how to promote the case study to your target audience. Not only is your story professionally written, but it’s also professionally promoted.
At Ripley PR, our writers know how to craft a case study that can be understood by the company executives who make purchasing decisions. And our media relations team understands the importance of getting your case studies in front of the right audience.
