Often, when people think of public relations, press releases come to mind. A comprehensive, strategically planned PR program should consider all of the following programs:

•Press Releases. Announce new projects, completion of projects, new executives and awards. Releases are issued to reporters on your contact list

•Press Kit. Includes a corporate backgrounder, executive biographies, service overviews, photo pages of completed projects and testimonials

•Contact List. Target reporters and editors from local and business media appropriate vertical market publications

•Editorial Matrix. A matrix of appropriate editorial opportunities maps out print feature opportunities for the coming year

•Media Relations. Relationships with key publications ensure that your company is included in the appropriate editorial opportunities, including feature stories, buyers' guides and industry round-up articles

•Speakers Bureau. Work with event planners to place your executives as speakers at appropriate industry or local area events - thus, establishing your company as an expert in the industry

•Awards. Nominate your company and staff for various awards sponsored by publications, associations and other organizations

•Newsletter. Develop a corporate newsletter to send to business associates, clients and prospects

•Case Studies. Write success stories that are pitched to editors and reporters at key publications
