PR in Russian regions β the puzzle, the solution of which is worthy of the Nobel Prize. After that, from the point of view of companies and marketers would be to free PR, in the opinion of the owners of regional newspapers should be advertising on the price paid.
β In regions very little journalists β says Anastasia Maximova,Β Head of PR “Raiffeisenbank”. β Usually, the city is a journalist who writes about the economy, and it works in all media, where there is a strip of Finance and Economics. If we take, for example, Yaroslavl, there are three media and on them two journalists. That’s all the press event. “In his master class “Non-standard and low cost solutions PR actions” Gallery Hyundai Anastasia Maximova told as advertised not for money, when everything around just for the money. We present five of the best quotes from the speech.
Bring in the big city man
“Our senior managers from Moscow to give the largest regional newspapers exclusive interviews. Sometimes you can do this by telephone or even by post. The regional publications almost never a federal speakers. If the company is large, the media according to the interview to put free if it contains unique information for this edition. This year, we’ve got almost all the major regional centers to release an interview with our Chairman of the Board.”
Organize an online conference
“We spend on your site an online conference that moderating themselves. We send announcements, questions, engage media partners. They publish in his texts and announcements about us, and we place their logo on the website. Thus, at every conference, we invite about thirty partners from the regions. Conference topics are radically different. Mortgages β the most popular, because it is of interest to all.”
Find a regional partner
“We have a car loan partners. We agreed with the two regional motor shows that test their new machines will be the director of our branches. Test drive β this is a standard article for the media about the new parameters of the machine. And we are pleased: the photo in the article and director gently, beautifully mentioned bank. From all that we do, this is my favorite activity.”
Make still something compelling
“It is possible and standard holidays (red calendar days) to conduct creatively. For example, in Voronezh, we are one of the events held business adventure in the style of Chicago 30s. Employees of the branches looking for a bottle of whiskey. All were dressed like Chicago gangsters turned out fun. At this event we invited journalists, but just told them not to wait for any publications, and on the contrary, please accept our invitation as an informal. Nevertheless, the three publications came out, but they were not dedicated to the quest, and the results of the branches in Voronezh. We became good friends.”
Organize a good conference
“This year, we held a press day for all business journalists in southern Russia. We arrived fifty journalists from four cities: Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, Sochi and Novorossiysk. Is not only local speakers of these cities, but also the status of our experts from Moscow. For example, macro-analyst talked about the economy in Russia. We also invited the curator of the corporate business in the region, to talk about the small and medium business. As a result, we came out 79 free publications. The number of requests from journalists in the bank for the next month tripled. The growth of publications, not related to this event, rose twice”.
