There’s no denying the power of visuals — including at least one image in your post can double your shares while also helping your audience retain more information than with text alone.

This is especially true in the PR and media world. When pitching a story, many more PR pros are including images and infographics in the hope of getting a hit.

You know what’s really difficult?

Being succinct. Seriously … it’s ridiculously hard. If you don’t believe me, just grab your favorite copywriter and ask them.

It’s especially difficult to express a complex emotional concept in just a couple of words — which is exactly what a slogan does.

I tried to explain public relations to my grandmother once …

This was many years ago, back when PR pros cut press coverage from publications we could actually hold in our hands, and few marketers talked about SEO in everyday conversation.

“So, it’s advertising,” she’d say, and I’d try again to explain that, no, it’s not.

Unsatisfied by his current job, Tom Dickson found himself with three things: the need for a change, a passion for bread making, and a $10 vacuum motor. 

In search of a way to combine them, Dickson started his own blender company, Blendtec. Unfortunately, he quickly found that generating buzz for blenders wasn’t all that easy. 

Then one day, his marketing director found inspiration in a pile of sawdust left behind by one of Dickson’s “blender durability experiments,” and proposed an idea that would soon propel Blendtec to fame.

Social media community managers and public relations professionals have to deal with little problems every single day. These could include nasty comments, unhappy customers, delivery issues, or a marketing faux pas — all problems that arise frequently and deserve reasonable and empathetic responses.

In Velocity’s latest SlideShare, “Insane Honesty in Content Marketing,” we argue for a little-used but hugely powerful strategy: taking the worst attributes of your company, product or service … and highlighting them for all to see.

You have a better chance of hearing a venture capitalist boast, “We’re bullish on professional services” than read a reporter confess to missing a PR person. Yet in 2010, when Facebook’s longtime head of PR, Brandee Barker, stepped down, Kara Swisher, then of AllThingsD, wrote just that. Then last year The New York Times dubbed her, “the most sought-after image consultant in the start-up world.”

Since launching The Growth Show in February, we’ve been fortunate to land interviews with some really busy people, including executives of billion-dollar businesses and founders on the cusp of building the next big thing. 

For some of them, we had an “in.” Somebody knew somebody else and happily made the introduction.

But we weren’t so lucky with some of the other guests.

When it comes to content, sometimes old school can be a good thing (namely, when it comes to old school rap or Throwback Thursday on Instagram). But when it comes to your company’s public relations strategy, being old school isn’t advantageous for your business or your brand.
