Actionable Take-aways:

1. Every business should think about improving their PR. Even startups would benefit greatly as PR can help improve their credibility and brand recognition and this can help to translate into higher sales and to help attract investors.

2. Earned media is publicity or exposure gained without any money or compensation paid to the media outlet. Earned media has a higher level of credibility precisely because it lacks an element of compensation to the media outlet that is recommending you and it will come across as being more authentic to customers. Do therefore have a think about how you can increase your exposure on earned media.

3. Make sure that your company is PR ready as early as you can. Make sure that your website and social media profiles are set up, that your assets (such as founder photos and bios, and company logo) are ready, and that your company mission is clear so that it can come across well in the interviews.
