Organic Growth
99% of marketers are using the wrong playbook. Any strategy including the word ‘bulk’ is unlikely to work in 2024. Bulk email to name the obvious is just plain old fashioned.
The playbook for 2024 can be summarized as ‘organic’. Any activity geared towards users finding your brand more ‘naturally’, ie: via the content they read online, or through the ‘grapevine’. That said, organic doesn’t mean ‘let’s sit back and wait’, actually quite the opposite.
In this article, we run you through some top PR strategies to drive organic growth.

Press Releases vs Sponsored Articles
You know, when something BIG happens, such as a new product launch, a new feature, partnership, or event? That’s optimal timing to share a press release.
A sponsored article is a little different. It's when you pay to have an article written about your brand, but it's more subtle. It's like slipping a little ad into a story without being too obvious about it. So, press releases are loud and clear, while sponsored articles are more like a friendly whisper.
How To Write
Writing a press release is like telling everyone about something important happening with your company. You have to keep it short and sweet, like a quick news flash. Start with a catchy headline, then dive straight into the important stuff, like what's happening and why it's relevant. Keep it clear and to the point, like ‘you're chatting with a really busy friend’.
Tips:
Start with a catchy headline that grabs attention.
Keep it short and to the point.
Include the most important information first, like who, what, when, where, and why.
Use quotes from important people in your company to add credibility.
Make sure to proofread carefully for any errors.
Distribute your press release to relevant media outlets - scroll down for suggestions!
Now, writing a sponsored article is a bit more sneaky, but in a good way. It's like telling a story, but you get to slip in a little mention of your company or product without being too obvious. Think of it like writing an article for a magazine, but you get to subtly promote your stuff along the way.
Tips:
Understand the publication's audience and tone before you start writing.
Weave your promotional message subtly throughout the article, like it's part of the story.
Focus on providing valuable and engaging content that readers will enjoy.
Include visuals like images or infographics to make your article more appealing.
Don't forget to disclose that the article is sponsored content to maintain transparency.
Collaborate with the publication's editors to ensure your article fits with their style and format.
