Public Relations
Every company or organization, no matter how big or small, ultimately depends on its reputation for survival. Consumers’ perceptions of your brand serve as deciding factors in their choices, influencing whether they pick your products off the shelf, use your services, attend your events or contribute to the causes you support. Unlike advertising, which offers short-term results, public relations (PR) play a vital role in laying the foundations upon which your brand equity is built, helping you establish long-term connections with your stakeholders and win over the hearts and minds of your target audience.
PR Strategy Development
We develop a holistic, forward-thinking public relations strategy that not only illustrates your brand’s areas of improvement, but also presents the tangible, practical steps that must be taken to enhance your overall positioning. Our customized, multi-faceted PR strategies serve as roadmaps in our reputation management efforts, helping us engage with your clients, investors and employees, as well as governmental entities, regulatory bodies and media representatives.

Marketing Support
While traditional marketing campaigns can be effective in promoting a single product, service or event, the development of public relations is crucial to fostering a company’s long-term market standing. Serving as a complement to marketing, public relations efforts develop brand equity and ensure a greater, longer-lasting impact.
Image Audit
Using various research tools, we determine the hidden perceptions of your internal and external stakeholders, discovering their honest opinions surrounding your brand. Armed with the knowledge of how your brand is truly seen, we can then craft an effective PR strategy to achieve your goals and rectify any misconceptions.
Communication Objectives Identification
Following in-depth conversations, workshops and brainstorming sessions with your team, the PR consultants at Soodad For Information Technology pinpoint the communication goals at the heart of your brand’s mission so that they may be delivered effectively to your target audience.
Stakeholder Analysis and Mapping
We identify the different entities which affect, or are affected, by your business, projects, CSR activities and events, so that we may classify them and develop unique communication approaches tailored to each.
