                                                                Would you issue a “high-end”

Italian press – some peculiarities

               Editor’s reaction to the crisis – the IT publications example

               • You pay, I write trend in printed media
                 regardless of the quality of the contents you might produce, these
                 magazines will ignore your news unless you invest upfront.

               • Huge amount of IT sites, some dubious
                 only a minority linked to a printed magazine, only 20 of the “just
                 onliners” deliver high quality contents, only 10 deliver business
                 oriented contents, the majority embeds tech news in a “daily” kind of
                 webzine (consumer oriented).

Kill two birds with one stone!


                                                       • Communicate to “high level”
                                                         magazines / sites only if you have
                                                         something relevant to say : sell
                                                         them exclusive contents, dealt with
                                                         in an understandable way for their
                                                         readers

                                                       • Communicate to the remaining
                                                         media constantly by generating
                                                         buzz around you.

Differentiate your communication!


                                                         • Learn to know your customer

                                                         • Learn to know your journalists

                                                         • Use different means of
                                                           communications including social
                                                           media!

                                                         • Use investments (if any) by turning
                                                           them the other way round for your
                                                           advantage!

Italian press: localized approach

                               • Case studies and testimonials should deal with
                                 local success stories or best practices

                               • News about good numbers on the territory, new
                                 local partnerships, your commitment to Italy,
                                 these are particularly appreciated

                               • Knowledge articles are excellent, provided they
                                 deal with real issues Italian companies are facing
                                 or an interesting / relevant topic or trend

Italian press: to avoid

                             • English communications

                             • Too “self satisfied” communications

                             • Reiterated communications on the same
                               topic, even if relevant for the issuing
                               company

                             • Multiple irrelevant communications for the
                               target markets

                             • Communication holes

  • 6. Italian press – some peculiarities Instability: not just a political issue! © 2011 SAB Communications International PR Day - Berlin 6
  • 7. Italian press – some peculiarities Editor’s reaction to the crisis – the IT publications example • You pay, I write trend in printed media regardless of the quality of the contents you might produce, these magazines will ignore your news unless you invest upfront. • Huge amount of IT sites, some dubious only a minority linked to a printed magazine, only 20 of the “just onliners” deliver high quality contents, only 10 deliver business oriented contents, the majority embeds tech news in a “daily” kind of webzine (consumer oriented). © 2011 SAB Communications International PR Day - Berlin 7
  • 8. Kill two birds with one stone! • Communicate to “high level” magazines / sites only if you have something relevant to say : sell them exclusive contents, dealt with in an understandable way for their readers • Communicate to the remaining media constantly by generating buzz around you. © 2011 SAB Communications International PR Day - Berlin 8
  • 9.

  • 11. Italian press: to avoid • English communications • Too “self satisfied” communications • Reiterated communications on the same topic, even if relevant for the issuing company • Multiple irrelevant communications for the target markets • Communication holes © 2011 SAB Communications International PR Day - Berlin 11
