JoTo PR Says Technology-Based Management is the New Foundation of PR
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) October 21, 2013 -- JoTo PR, a Clearwater-based public relations (PR) firm known for its innovative business practices, says the practice of technology automation is the new foundation of PR. By using automation in the PR firm’s workflow processes, the company is able to keep the ratio of supporting staff to creative staff in better alignment, and still allow an increase in clients without excessive overhead.
As digital communication is more prevalent in the communications industry, JoTo says that the primary means of making an impact with a sound PR strategy should be coupled with technology-based management. JoTo has instituted technology in its business model from the start, using cloud-based software services, statistical campaign analytics and automated work-flow processes to track the effectiveness of PR campaigns—a combination which leads to a tangible ROI for businesses, a sizable feat in today’s questionable economy. Though traditional PR tactics will never become outdated, clients favor a more modernized approach in seeking tangible results to their bottom line from their PR, per Karla Jo Helms, JoTo CEO.
JoTo PR says any administrative/clerical task that a PR pro does several times daily can be automated so that more time can be spent on the creative aspects of client’s campaigns, thereby ensuring that results are obtained. “The amount of time administrative duties eat up is mind-blowing when it’s calculated out,” said Helms. By using automated processes, JoTo has been able to increase profit and lower expenses while taking on more clients.
In addition to automating PR processes, managing client campaigns by hardcore statistics, per Helms, enables JoTo PR to pinpoint the dos and don’ts of specific industry campaigns, encouraging more effective results and consequently more business for clients.
“Since the Great Recession, the PR industry has seen major shifts in the way firms can interact with consumers and there have also been massive changes in what customers expect from agencies,” said Helms.
The Florida PR firm also incorporates comprehensive marketing research to streamline its business practices in order to provide much-needed background information for client campaigns. That information, Helms asserts, is used to determine how consumer interactions have changed in certain industries—and is incorporated into PR campaigns for higher media pick up. JoTo’s market research team has been aggregating data for companies in the healthcare, finance, and technology industries for over 20 years.
