PR Packages # 5 – Newsletter, Case Study & Annual Report Copywriting

This composite PR Package has the potential to deliver impressive returns by treating what is essentially the same content in different ways.

Newsletter copywriting often reflects the most obvious news stories in an organisation.  By developing the key parts of this raw material, case studies can be created which, in themselves, offer great versatility for marketing applications ranging from additional website content to mailshots to – annual reports.

Annual report copywriting is all about creating a serious document which should nevertheless reflect what drives any organisation, namely, its people.  Case studies can highlight not only the practical, technical or financial achievements of a company.  They should also include the people whose enthusiasm, commitment and know-how make company success possible in the first place.

The ‘trickle-down effect’ of news management via imaginative copywriting and PR is realised to the full by combining three major marketing disciplines into one PR Package.

PR Packages #4 – Online PR & Case Study Copywriting

The complementary aspects of Online PR and Case Study Copywriting create their own synergy by covering all the bases when it comes to newsworthy events.

Online PR can exploit the fact that most stories will be published, providing they are written well and formatted correctly.  There is also the added SEO bonus that a well-optimised and eye-catching story could go ‘viral’ and generate a large number of backlinks to your website.

Case Study Copywriting, on the other hand, adopts a more measured and reflective response to disseminating news and information.  What Case Study Copywriting shares with Online PR is that you are managing and crafting your own news in a way that will influence your company’s reputation and help in meeting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

This PR Package – #4 in a range of 5 – should be seen as a strategic marketing option to be used alongside other Buzzwords’ packages for maximum long-term effectiveness.

PR Packages Option # 2 – Case Study Copywriting & Annual Report Copywriting

This second option of Buzzwords’ 5-star PR packages is dubbed ’The Credibility Builder’.  That’s because the valuable raw material of corporate information used in case study copywriting can be applied in a highly effective way to annual report copywriting.

The content can also of course be edited to create extra website content, mailshots and sales aids – so it makes marketing and financial sense to use it for annual report copywriting too!  This is especially true when specific case studies are used to illustrate a particular success that was part of an organisation’s mainstream activities in that particular year.   

Depending on the nature of the case studies, their use in annual reports can either be as major full-page items that add personal or commercial credibility.  Or they can be used as a series of cameos, or shortened versions, to highlight widely applied or accepted skills or achievements.  Whichever approach is used, the testimonial value of third party endorsement is priceless.

What is also important is recognising the value of this goldmine of information under your nose which should neither be overlooked nor wasted.  That’s why you should adopt a case study ’strategy’ to identify both the information  and its potential as an inexpensive and often ignored marketing tool.
