The most successful PR strategies are built on SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Here’s how to set them:
Specific:Define exactly what you want to achieve. Instead of “increase brand awareness,” say, “secure 5 media placements in top-tier outlets by Q2.”
Measurable:Identify metrics to track progress. For example, aim for “500 new social media followers” or “a 20% increase in email open rates.”
Achievable:Set realistic goals that challenge you without setting you up for failure. Consider your resources and time constraints.
Relevant:Ensure your goals align with your overall business objectives. If your goal is growth, focus on strategies that attract and retain customers.
Time-bound:Attach a deadline to your goals to maintain accountability and urgency.
Actionable Step:Write down three SMART goals for your PR strategy in 2025. Share them with your team and revisit them monthly.
