Thought leadership PR is the process of building awareness for a company, brand, or individual through showcasing their insights and expertise. Usually, these insights are promoted through a combination of media coverage, social media activity, and multimedia content production.
Thought leadership is a very powerful way to build awareness and set yourself apart from your competitors. Research undertaken by Profile has shown that companies who invest in thought leadership recruit better talent, grow faster, secure more investment, and even command higher valuations.
Thought leadership content is any insight-driven material that's created to showcase a company, brand, or indivdiual's expertise. Usually, this takes the form of written content, such as opinion pieces or research articles, but it can also be multimedia content, such as podcasts or videos.
A thought leadership PR agency works with companies, brands, and individuals to coordinate and execute their thought leadership strategy. This activity can include defining the client's audience, objectives, and area of expertise; translating this into powerful and impactful content; and getting this into the hands of the right people through media outreach, social media activity, and potentially paid advertising.
The cost of retaining a thought leadership PR agency depends on the intensity of the campaign. At Profile, a thought leadership PR campaign usually lasts for around 6 months and costs start from around £4,500 per month.
While you might be able to execute elements of a thought leadership campaign yourself, this can be time-consuming and resource intensive. At Profile, we have social media, PR, and multimedia expertise under a single roof, meaning that we are able to conduct thought-leadership campaigns end-to-end in an efficient, cost-effective, and successful way.
