Media Relations
Narrative
Creating a strategy will bring structure to your communications. Public relations has and will continue to transform. In the wake of democratised content and satisfying the needs of a digitally connected audience, the PESO model hits all bases. Paid, earned, shared and owned media all have a critical role to play when we are building strategy.
Pratar will develop a strategy that is flexible enough to adapt to the changes around us and make sure our attention is focused on what's important.

Media Relations
Narrative
To connect with each other, stories are a common tool used to cross barriers and preserve histories. We tell stories everyday. They help us to communicate feeling, emotion, and information in order to make sense of the world around us.
Technology can be intimidating and seem complicated, until it's seen in the context of everyday life. We help you define your 'why' and you tell your story in a language that's understandable, has impact and gives people an opportunity to relate.

CONTENT CREATION
Media relations is as important today as it has always been. Whilst the landscape has changed and there are now more channels to communicate through, the media is still vital in reaching your audience. As such, it's important you build trusted relationships with reporters and engage them in your story.
Media relations is a long game. It's about exchanging valuable content and insights that are timely and relevant. We will create and execute a media strategy that will help build and sustain your profile.
