Content Management Systems (CMS)

Content you produce, whether for marketing or PR purposes, benefits from a well-developed Content Management System (CMS) for better organization. WordPress, HubSpot, and Joomla are examples of platforms that provide essential tools to create, publish, and track content, as well as analyze its performance. These systems also help ensure that your content, including press releases and PR announcements, is delivered seamlessly to the right audience. 

Social Media and PR Management Tools

Using social media dashboards like Hootsuite, Buffer and Sprout Social one can schedule posts, interact with the fans and monitor the performance of different social media platforms. For PR professionals, these tools are equally useful in order to guarantee that they respond adequately and on time to any news, updates or announcements. 

SEO and PR Tools

Keyword data, backlinks, and competitors’ actions can be found in such tools as SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Moz. When used in conjunction with PR activities, these tools are also effective in measuring the corresponding online effectiveness of your press releases or articles that reference your brand to guarantee that your brand gets the exposure. 

Analytics and Reporting Tools

The measurement and evaluation of performance is vital to the enhancement of marketing and PR strategies. Tools such as Google Analytics as well as Hubspot’s analytics present the ability of the visitors, content and conversion rate of visitors into customers. In the world of PR, such tools also assist in determining the success of campaigns, such as how many media outlets are reading your press releases. With this data you can adjust the content and PR strategy to achieve the goals that you set. 

Email Tools

Another key strategy is email marketing which is one of the most effective ways of getting leads. There are various platforms available, including Mailchimp, Constant Contact & ConvertKit for creating aesthetic email campaigns, targeting respective audiences and benchmarking each campaign. To the PR professional, these tools are also valuable for the dissemination of press releases, media alerts and newsletters to subscribers and target media. 

Collaboration Tools between Content and Public Relations

Coordination is key; especially so when dealing with other teams. Google Workspace, Slack, and Trello are some of the most useful platforms in communication and organizing tasks. They assist in the process of keeping the writers, designers, PR representatives, and even other company’s employees on the same page with the objectives set for the project, which simplifies the process of reviewing and coordinating the campaigns. 

Of course, there are an extensive number of tools to curate content and manage PR on social platforms. 

If you want to keep your audience interested, consistent sharing of information that is important, beneficial and from credible sources is encouraged. Tailoring your marketing tools such as Feedly, Pocket, and Curata brings content in your feeds that is aligned to your brand values. In PR, these tools can be used for compiling relevant material that is worth posting for the media, and contributes to enhancing the brand’s authority.
