The UnNoticed Entrepreneur Why Brazilian waxes about #reachfortherazor, how you can use print, and rise of Good News Shows.
Hélio Vogas, Brazilian motivational speaker shared insights into the need to find ways to motivate staff as they come out of furlough, and shared the story of the #Reachfortherazor campaign led by the CEO Jason Killens and the Director of Operations Lee Brooks.
What can you do spark a movement which is personal, on message, and importantly more symbolic than difficult to do, but which sends a message to staff, partners and customers?
Although I didn't like the content of a China focused publication I received through my letterbox today, it did lead me to discuss the merits of printing ones' own newsletter as a solution to the lack of print which is available for long form information and photographs. In the old days of PR, print was an essential part of the marketing mix; perhaps it is time to bring it back especially for certain customer groups who don't live on the internet.
I share here how my agency, EASTWEST, recently secured over 90 pieces of coverage for our client Rosti for it's 72 hour 3d printing service by framing the news release within our COVID mindset of Compassionate, Optimistic, Values Based, Informative and Digital.
Finally - 'some good news' - a YouTube only show by celebrity in lockdown John Krazinski has been sold after only 2 months. There is another site running since 1997 called the "Good News Network®" as an antidote to the barrage of negativity experienced in the mainstream media. Because of its long history, staying power, and public trust, GNN is #1 on Google for good news. However, in spite of their own PR it seems that it 'Some Good News' was more attractive to ViacomCBS; because Krasinski is already an actor on their shows. Sometimes it's not just about the PR but the connections.
Next show I'll talk about Russell Brunson and his strategy for getting into the top 100 influencers that you need for your business.
