Influencer Marketing
Productivity PR harnesses industry thought leaders, influencers and advocates to drive awareness, engagement, and
preference for our clients. We collaborate with powerful social media influencers, journalists, celebrities and industry
leaders who personally connect with mass consumers. By combining traditional PR efforts, social media marketing
and partnering with leading influencers, we can drive metrics further than traditional advertising ever could.
A whopping 92% of people trust recommendations from friends and family over other forms of marketing (Nielson
Research). Considering that tried and true statistic, any brand that is brave enough to promote themselves on their
own is only reaching 8% of the marketplace, and that doesn’t necessarily mean they are reaching the right
audience, or even getting their attention.
Gen-Z and Millennials not only value recommendations from friends and family but they feel a personal connection
with social media influencers and celebrities so subtle marketing has become an art form no longer left to the
amateur. Industry performance tells us a lot more about what is happening and why.
On a daily basis, of the American adult population, 76% use Facebook, 51% use Instagram, and 42% use Twitter.
When social media is part of their buyer’s journey, customers tend to convert at a 129% higher rate. They are also
four times as likely to spend significantly more than those without a social component.
Engaging with (reading or writing) social media comments or reviews alone will influence the shopping behavior
of 67% of consumers.
When making purchasing decisions, the majority of consumers will be influenced by someone they trust.

Reputation Management
For most companies, their brand reputation is their most valuable asset. You’ve spent a lot of time and energy creating
your brand identity but unfortunately, a few bad reviews can significantly affect your business. But how you respond to a
bad review, product recall, or a disgruntled customer can positively or negatively affect your reputation tenfold.
Productivity PR is available to help you navigate through the turbulent waters.
Online Reputation Management
The rise of the Internet has given birth to a lot of good things ... and a lot of things that are not so good. If someone
says something negative about you or something that may be true but is now old and obsolete - these things can
really damage your future. At the same time, your digital reputation also creates significant opportunities. If you aren’t
taking advantage of what your reputation could be, taking bad reviews too personally and letting your frustration
show, or simply ignoring a customer’s negative experience; you’re not putting your best foot forward and your
customers will make their final judgements based on your response or lack there of.
Productivity PR can monitor relevant social media and review channels (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Yelp,
TripAdvisor, OpenTable, etc.) and respond or address each concern tactfully, timely, seriously and personally on your
behalf to resolve the situation and/or make other site users are aware that you genuinely care about your customers
and your brand.
Crisis Communications
Crisis communications starts with planning. Nobody wants or expects a crisis or negative exposure but if (or when) it
happens, you need to be prepared to address it with poise, knowledge, resources, a solid plan to mitigate its
escalation, and one voice. Productivity PR is available to proactively develop an effective messaging strategy and
respond directly to media inquiries to help you navigate the storm.

Social Media Marketing – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest
According to Forrester Research, one in five online young adults in the U.S. use a social networking site on a daily
basis. Nearly half of online adults in the U.S. are also social media users, participating in at least one online social
activity. Not joining the conversation in these existing online social networking communities is a missed opportunity to
reach a captive audience. Social networking sites present an unmatched opportunity to build brand loyalty among
your existing customer base as well as leverage their networks to spread the word about your products and services.
Productivity PR, Inc. will approach these sites with the right content, strategy, and tone which can result in increased
Web site traffic, brand awareness and ultimately revenue.

Social Media Marketing (cont).
Why are Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram such effective marketing tools? In part, because they have become
such an important part of people’s lives. But these platforms also allow a person to connect and share everything that is
important to them, including the brands that they love with their friends.
A word of mouth recommendation has always been the most trusted, effective form of marketing. Facebook and Twitter
simply allows the 1 to 1 phenomenon of word of mouth to become scalable. Individuals who ‘like’, ‘follow’ and interact
with brands on Facebook and Twitter can share their interactions organically to their entire network through the news
feed. On average people on Facebook have about 130 friends, and with over 500 million people on Facebook, each
interaction has the potential to create word of mouth at a scale
Productivity PR can create and manage a social media marketing campaign to generate more “Likes” or fans for your
business page (or create one if one if a fan page does not already exist) and engage fans so that your brand is always
top of mind. Utilizing a pay-per-click or pay-per-impressions advertising strategy, Productivity PR can target specific
demographics that are potential customers, recommend a daily budget, and manage the advertising campaign to turn
page visitors into fans and potential customers.
In addition, as of 2016, Pinterest has more than 100 million active users. Not only is its reach growing, but the average
amount of time spent on the site per visitor was more than 90 minutes. These stats show that the site is sticky, providing
significant value to its users so they’re willing to set aside a large chunk of their day to spend on it. Productivity PR can
create a Pinterest board and manage it for your brand and products. By pinning items on Pinterest with compelling and
engaging captions, we will link them directly to e-commerce sites to capture potential customers at their time of interest.
And with 500 million active users, Instagram has quickly grown to be the preferred social media platform among ‘tweens,
teens, and young adults. Utilizing photos, comments, hashtags, contests and more; Instagram can be beneficial to create
viral awareness of a brand that people can visually relate to.
So, which social media platform is the most effective to market on? The answer is that it depends on your brand and
target audience. Productivity PR will work with you to determine the best social media platform to reach the right
audience with the right messaging.

Celebrity Seeding
The concept of celebrity gifting is incredibly powerful because it is incredibly simple. Consumers naturally accept
products and services used by people they admire or accept in popular culture. If you can associate your brand
with someone who is commonly accepted, your product will be commonly accepted. It is the most tested and
most proved marketing strategy on earth because it works.
Productivity PR, Inc. will recommend a list of celebrities and/or their children that might be interested in your
brand and coordinate sending the celebrity a sample with a personalized letter to the appropriate manger,
agent and/or publicist to deliver the item to the intended celebrity.
In addition, Productivity PR, Inc. will identify and help
negotiate participation fees for celebrity gift suites at
award shows, high-profile events, and premiere
events. If celebrity photos or “thank you” letters have
been secured, Productivity PR, Inc. will contact the
appropriate celebrity-driven magazines and Web sites
to generate media coverage and awareness. Please
note that products that can be easily visible by
paparazzi photographs while the celebrity is “out and
about” are ideal.
