CSR activities are an important part of your brand identity. Even when they’re not the specific focus of media attention, they form part of your backstory when you get exposure or interest for other reasons.
But when journalists are trying to learn more about you today, how can you be sure that they have access to information you shared about a CSR activity from the past? Do you expect them to search through your blog or hope they enter just the right phrase in Google?
There’s a better way.
Online newsrooms allow you to create an attractive, always up-to-date resource for all of your press releases and public communications. With everything consolidated in one place, journalists can easily navigate to the type of information or particular person they are looking for, no matter when the content was published.
Instead of sending emails and newsletters with, for example, large video files, online newsrooms allow you to simply share a link and direct journalists right to the best source—you. Setting up an online newsroom means information about your CSR activities is always easily available, shareable, and ready to help journalists learn more about you and your brand.
Online newsrooms can be set up in minutes, without the help of IT expertise—just click, drag, and drop! You can also customize them to match your brand identity in terms of colors, style, and overall look. Linking to social media platforms is a snap and, on the back end, you get analytic insights into traffic volume and sources. What’s not to like?
