The opinions expressed by business taxpayers are their own.
This year my 25th anniversary is fulfilled in B2B Tech Public Relations. It has been a moment of great transformation for both the technological world and for art to shape markets and market manufacturers. With all new technological advances, global trends and customer expectations, public relations practice (and all companies promoted by digital) have changed dramatically to keep up.
From fax machines to Twitter threads, the way we communicate, influence and build relationships has changed. The saying “the only constant is the change” sounds true in this era of interruption without stopping. In this business world, it is the adaptable who prosper.
One thing is sure, looking back in the last two decades: if you want to survive in the business world, flexibility is your best friend. Those who can pivot faster and detect new opportunities in chaos are better positioned to stay at the forefront of the game. This means not only keeping up with change, but also innovating and demonstrating serious marketing resistances.

1. Product change to stories narration and thought leadership
Today, companies must interact with multiple audiences on several platforms, including digital, social and community channels. It is no longer just about sending a message: it is about creating significant two -way conversations with clients, investors, analysts and other key stakeholders.
In the early days of public relations, the approach was to exhibit specifications of products and technical characteristics, hoping to impress decision makers with “speeds and feeds.” However, as the industry evolved, PR changed its approach to the narration of stories, emphasizing commercial benefits, including “how” and “why” behind the product.
Focusing on the human side of the offer, including the way in which a solution solves the weak points of the client in the real world and facilitates the lives of people, makes it identifiable. More customer -centered messages has caused a better commitment and stronger connections. A key lesson learned is that a convincing narrative can even make the most complex offer related.
Companies that rise above noise in a market full of people are not just street vendors; They are leaders. They are thought leaders and confidence experts in their field. Thought leadership is essential to establish brand authority and create trust with customers.
We have developed and moved markets over the years effectively positioning executives as thought leaders. This happened through interviews, commitments, articles and videos contributed to its central values, knowledge of industry and experience. He also promoted a deeper connection with his target audience.
The key conclusion is that the leadership of thought is essential for a successful marketing strategy and consistency and authenticity are essential for effectiveness of effective thought.

2. Crisis management and reputation building
Crisis management has been an inevitable part of this fast rhythm industry where market pressure and rapid innovation can sometimes lead to vulnerabilities such as withdrawals from products or safety violations. I learned that the key to handling a crisis is a proactive and transparent approach that prioritizes responsibility, clear communication and rapid action.
One of the largest public relations crises that I had to face was the withdrawal of the product of a customer of several important distribution partners after a couple of incidents reported with battery swelling. We had a crisis communications plan that we implement immediately. This plan described the communications protocol for such an event, including executive spokesmen, messaging development, approval, etc.
All companies of today need to have a crisis communications plan, promoted by strong leadership. The long -term reputation construction is based on a leadership of consistent thought, content marketing and positive means of means to compensate for risks and maintain confidence. Effective crisis management is not just about solving the immediate problem; It is about preserving the trust and credibility that their brand can sustain long after the storm has passed.
3. Data decision -making
One of the most significant developments in the continuous convergence of public relations and digital marketing has been the increase in data -based decision making. In a world where AI, automation and analysis are of growing importance for commercial operations, public relations practice has had to get used to these tools to measure the impact, obtain real -time information and adjust the strategies.
Today’s companies must also adopt a data -based approach. Make sure your public relations team collaborate with marketing equipment, sales and products to align messages, boost participation and support the company’s growth strategy. Breaking silos and promoting interdepartmental collaboration not only strengthens campaigns, but also maximizes the impact.
