Growth Panel is packed with marketing content and tools to help you handle almost any business
marketing challenge. Check out a sample tool from each section below.
Publicity in the media (both traditional and online formats) can be extremely valuable in building credibility and creating an awareness of your company.
For example, a legitimate news story is an endorsement that can reach a wide audience for very little cost beyond your own creativity and time. There are many forms of publicity including:
News stories/interviews on industry sites and in trade journals, newspapers, magazines, and other publications
Quotes by experts included in stories written by a journalist or a blogger
Self-authored stories published on websites or in industry publications
Speaking engagements
Publicity isn’t about luck; it’s about investing in a good PR program – one that produces brand awareness, new leads, and new and repeat customers.
Publicity Value
Publicity is a highly cost-effective strategy that can:
Build awareness of your products/services, expertise and people
Drive prospects to your website
Drive participation in a promotion or event
Educate the market about problems your company can solve
Create an ongoing dialogue with the market
The key to success is creating newsworthy stories. They should be interesting, relevant, and timely, and they should offer new information or insight to your prospects.
Even if you don’t think you have newsworthy content to share with the world, you can benefit by implementing small programs to raise your visibility. At the very least, you should include news releases on your website and home page; these can improve search engine rankings and enable prospects to see what you’ve been doing.
With Growth Panel, you can add publicity campaigns to your marketing strategy. Raise your profile in the market, generate new leads and leverage one of the highest value media channels available. Good publicity can do more than boost sales; it can reinforce your competitive positioning and brand strategy to add economic goodwill to your balance sheet.

What they’re saying...
Your tools have helped me identify what questions to ask to program directors, as well as to admissions reps, and develop marketing campaigns with logics (sic) and clear target numbers behind them. Also, creative briefs are very handy when communicating with my writers and designers. They eliminate the room for confusion and misunderstandings that used to occur during the creative development stage."
