Press releases remain an essential tool for disseminating important information about organisations in the changing context of corporate communication. Companies need to refine their communication strategies in a digital environment where data overload dominates and audience expectations are rising. By adapting press releases to current communication trends, we ensure that our editorial communications are not only seen, but also generate a meaningful resonance with their target audiences.
The digital platforms and social media have become key channels for amplifying the reach of these communications, allowing news and updates to cross borders in moments. The personalisation emerges as a critical component in this context, advocating messages that are not only attention-grabbing, but also directly related to the specific needs and interests of the public and the media.
Social media and other two-way digital channels such as WhatsApp and Telegram have increased the ability of companies to distribute their communications to a wider audience. This is undoubtedly one of the major trends in communication that is changing the way press releases are disseminated.
The focus on personalisation and relevance is another important trend to consider. It is becoming less and less common to receive personalised attention, so as communications agencies we need to ensure that press releases are interesting and relevant to both client audiences and the journalists who receive them. According to a report by McKinsey & Company (2022), the personalisation can increase email open rates by up to 20%. and significantly improve the effectiveness of communications.
Standing out on the first page of search results has become essential, given that studies, such as those published by HubSpotThe overwhelming majority of users do not progress beyond this initial exposure. Therefore, optimising our notes for SEO - using relevant terms and ensuring a user-friendly web structure - is not an option, but a necessity.
Last but not least, special attention should be paid to the integration of multimedia content. This work can transform a flat note into a rich and engaging experience, favouring dissemination and recall. From striking images to explanatory videos, these visual resources are key to capturing and maintaining the reader's interest.
In short, press releases remain essential communication tools for business storytelling. However, adapting them to the demands and preferences of today's digital world is essential to maintain their effectiveness and relevance.
