Receiving positive press is one of the best ways to raise public awareness and improve your brand reputation. While advertising is responsible for building brand awareness, public relations (PR) tells the story of the brand and shapes public perception. PR professionals manage brand communications and nurture media relationships to generate positive publicity.
PR is an integral part of event promotion. A well-executed PR campaign builds awareness, generates sales, and builds relationships with media, customers, event partners, and other stakeholders. That’s why you need to approach PR the right way. Otherwise, you will be wasting your time and resources.
With hundreds of events in Shoreditch, Soho, and Peckham in London, it can be difficult to make your event stand out from the crowd–you’ll need a professional to assist you.
Whether a product launch, conference, or exhibition, Pearl Lemon PR can ensure that everyone in the town will get the word about your event.

We’ve noticed a trend: the more difficult an event is to attend, the more interest it generates.
Exclusivity ensures greater reach. However, this selectivity must be justified. You need to bring the essence of exclusivity into the event. This is what appeals to all. So how do you generate interest in your event PR plan?
You need to bet on uniqueness if it is a closed event. Then, you need to find bloggers and micro-influencers so that they can convey the information to the right people.
If you have a large-scale open event, consider what audience you can gather, concentrate on what this audience wants, and use the following communication ideas.
Here are more useful tips for creating a successful PR strategy for events.
Event PR is all about publicity. There won’t be masses without a strong media presence. Event coverage increases brand awareness and credibility. So plan and organise your media event in advance, paying close attention to lead times, press dates, and editorial calendars.
When planning your media coverage, the first thing to do is to research the types of press that are likely to cover your event. For example, food magazines are a good platform for promoting food events. Think local. Local media are much more likely to cover your food event than national media like CNN.
Once we have identified our target sites and publications, we will contact individual reporters and editors directly. Media houses receive hundreds of articles and leads, but using generic contact and tips pages can overwhelm your press releases. Include important event information such as name, date, time and location. Create the perfect press pitch using our service proposal software, detailing how your event fits into your publication’s focus and why your audience will be interested.
Social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter are great channels for sharing event teasers and growing your guest list. In the meantime, media consulting can generate additional interest and attract the attention of the press. Everything you do to promote your brand should focus on meeting your target audience’s wants and needs.
Of course, you want the media to be interested in your business, but your message should be aimed primarily at potential customers in your audience. So keep yourself at the forefront of communication at all times.
Press releases can be used to ensure a consistent flow of information to a broad target media list, but be sure to distribute to personal media contacts who have a genuine interest in your event. In our experience, mass distribution of press releases has little impact.
Instead, it’s far more rewarding to focus on developing customised content for your primary target media. This is more of a daunting task as it requires an in-depth knowledge of the event programme, the specialities of the speakers and other presenters, the industry, and current trends and issues affecting both the audience and the target media.
Examples of customised content include:
When considering PR for an event, it is important to plan for event preparation and follow-up and ensure both the quantity and quality of media. After the event, continue to monitor impact, track coverage, and ensure that journalists are in attendance and, if possible, respond to inquiries from journalists who have received press releases.
PR is an intense and difficult task that can be rewarding and disappointing. Event managers sometimes tend to overlook this because it requires effective strategy. PR can make or break your event, so you should consider hiring a PR agency.
But if you decide to hire an agency for your company’s event PR, instead of passively waiting for your briefings and direction, look for someone willing to work as an extension of your team to advise, advise, and actively guide PR strategy and content development–like Pearl Lemon PR.
