Identify goals and the target audience for your campaign. If you don’t, your hard work won’t amount to much. Digital PR campaigns can focus on many objectives, including brand awareness, sales, or website traffic. Also, don’t forget that the more you know about your target audience, the better. A detailed understanding of their behavior, opinions and interests is sure to help you craft a campaign they won’t be able to resist.

STEP 2

Since advertising always seems to rehash the same themes and users have a very low attention span, finding a campaign that is current, on-brand, and appealing to the masses can be hard. That’s why you shouldn’t rush the ideation process. Take your time to brainstorm, and remember: data is your best friend.

STEP 3
