The knowledgeable and experienced team came up with some great ideas for the launch, practical support in taking the bus to schools in Colchester, teaching children about the meaning of Remembrance, managing the relationships with the media and producing a great video and imagery.

Frequently asked questions

What does PR mean?

PR, or public relations to give it its full name, refers to the managing of a business or brand’s reputation and its communication with the public. It involves building positive relationships with the media, customers and stakeholders through a combination of press releases, events and strategic messaging. At KAT Marketing, we understand the importance of PR and its central role in helping to shape public perception. It also comes to the fore to handle crises and maintain a trustworthy, favourable image of your organisation.
It’s our job as a PR agency to positively manage an organisation’s public image and ensure it communicates its message successfully and efficiently whether that is to promote its business, a new product or campaign, or to react to a crisis. We create well written and engaging press releases and pitch stories to different elements of the media as well as handling crisis communication and organising events. Our goal is to generate positive publicity for you, to build your credibility and strengthen your relationships with the public, media and stakeholders to support your reputation and business objectives.
Digital PR is an online strategy which is used to increase a business or group’s visibility as well as promoting its reputation. It combines traditional public relations with SEO, content marketing and social media. By securing backlinks, online media coverage and influencer partnerships, digital PR helps improve search rankings as well as driving traffic to your business and developing trust with online audiences.
There is not one answer to this. PR costs vary according to what is wanted in terms of product promotion and campaigns. Pricing levels will reflect how much work is involved including the overall strategy, media reach, content creation and ongoing support. Come and chat with us so we can develop a package for you, generating the best results at a great price. Any PR will pay dividends on the investment you make.
