eTurboNews loves to work with qualified PR agencies as partners,
but not as slaves.
Anyone fully expects PR agencies are getting paid for services, as much as we expect to be paid for services we provide as PR agency partners.
Looking to eTN to get your message out is brilliant because we are known to provide interesting, fresh, and unique content.
In an era of costly digital marketing and fat-cat advertising, some marketing and PR agencies often sell their clients media programs that simply will not produce measurable results. Unfortunately, the client is often the last to know this, finding out the hard way with unsatisfactory value/ROI for their PR budget.
We receive literally 2000+ press releases and story ideas every single day, so no, after doing this for almost 23 years, and with more than 2 million monthly unique readers, we are not hungry for content.
And no, we could not afford to publish most media releases presented without compensation. A PR agency doesn’t provide free services, and neither do legitimate media platforms.
Earned Media
While a PR agency has written a nice media release or story, the vast majority of agencies simply churn out the release to its list of media databases, hoping for freebie publication. This is what the industry calls “Earned Media.”
Paid Media
On the other hand, “Paid Media” gives you full control over your branding and messaging.
As a client, you presumably pay your agency or PR expert handsomely to write and place media releases with strategically sound, highly targeted, media outlets.
However, that simply does not occur most of the time. It benefits agencies to rely on slip-shod distribution that doesn’t cost them a dime out of their fees from clients. This is precisely where the client con may occur.
Your marketing budget is being squandered if your agency of record is simply spewing out your media releases to databases or mass distribution systems like PR Newswire or Cision database, relying on so-called Earned Media, without also using your budget for well planned Paid Media insertions into key publications.
PR Newswire or similar services will produce impressive reports on irrelevant coverage, such as on Yahoo Financial, all secondary pages impossible to find. PR Newswire is charging eTN a “license fee” to publish mass content already circulated by them.
We can work cohesively with your agency of record, or your in-house PR team, adding the additional value and layer of substantial expertise with Google keywords and SEO optimization. In addition to having top positioning in our publication and our extended network, expect immediate results in Google News positioning often seen by millions.
We can also work directly, ensuring optimal targeted distribution using relevant Google-friendly headlines and trigger keywords. Either way, our contributions will ensure a longer shelf life of your news and strategically smart and meaningful brand building within the PR arena.
