Why You Should & Should Not Get Media Relations: A Strategic Approach
Understanding your goals with media relations is crucial. We provide insights into why investing in media relations can be beneficial, but we also guide you on when it might be better to abstain. Our goal is to align your institution's messages with the right media outlets, maximizing the impact on your target audience.
Media relations have many benefits, and you might want to get all of them, some of them, or just one. For instance, by talking about your school's research in the news, you can let potential students, faculty, and staff member know what you offer and maybe even get them to apply. You can also target a particular group of people and get more applications from them if you explain what you have to offer through scholarships, programmes, or success stories. Maybe you have a scholarship for women who want to attend business school. If this is the case, you might want to tell people about it through the media.As you can see, there are circumstances where you’ll need media, and there will be times that you’re better off without it.If you’re unfamiliar or think you need expert help to figure it out, why not talk to our PR team about it?
Book A CallWhat To Take Part In: Crafting Stories That Captivate Audiences
To effectively work with the media, you must offer compelling stories. We guide you on identifying the right topics and maintaining a good relationship with journalists. By staying attuned to their interests, you ensure that your institution's stories stand out in the crowded media landscape.To work with journalists, you need to know what's happening in the area they cover. Keep in mind that a journalist’s interests can change constantly. For instance, once upon a time, comments and opinions about pandemics and vaccines weren't nearly as wanted. However, there are some topics that journalists are always interested in, like sustainability, climate change, and economics, to name a few.And when you talk to journalists, remember that they are the "gatekeepers" to the content you want, so keep in mind how busy they can be. Building a good relationship with them is crucial, so you don't want to keep bombarding them with messages, or they might stop talking to you.

People Want to Know What YOU Think: Establishing Thought Leadership
As the head of your institution, your thoughts carry weight. Journalists seek your insights on various topics, from changes in the school to plans for sustainability. We help you leverage this power, ensuring that your institution's voice is heard and respected in the media.As the head of your institution, you are in charge of the whole school. When there is a problem, people look to their leaders for help, reassurance, and information about what will happen next. Principals and headmasters have a lot of power and influence over others, especially in the field of education, which is why reporters and journalists are eager to talk to you about a topic if they have the chance.If you are a new administrator in the school, journalists may want to know which changes you plan to make and how you plan to grow the school in terms of sustainability or other ways.
Book A CallMedia Relations Don't Work Like Magic: Realistic Expectations for Real Results
Promoting your institution in the media requires a realistic approach. We guide you on where and how to pitch your stories for the best outcomes. Effective media relations are not a quick fix but a measured, long-term strategy that builds your school's reputation over time.If you want to promote something at your institution, like a brand-new programme or an interesting new initiative, in the media, you need to be realistic about how far it will reach. You might want to put it in the Financial Times or The Economist, but you need to know what kind of content you are promoting and where it fits best. Just telling an FT journalist about a new marketing course won't get you a two-page spread in their next edition. It might work better for marketing trade press, which might reach a better audience for your goals.
