Thought Leadership

Companies seeking to elevate their brand often overlook their best and most readily available resources: in-house experts and research. PReturn leverages this expertise to generate influential placements in priority media and works hard to position experts as valued sources to media contacts.

PReturn helps corporate executives and spokespeople become thought leaders in a variety of industries. Speaking opportunities put executive thought leaders in front of influential trade show audiences. The Breaking News Desk positions client executives as resources that provide valuable trend analysis for the media. Industry commentaries, bylined articles and columns round out PReturn’s thought leadership services. Unique, automated methods enable PReturn to efficiently spread the word to interested journalists, who often consult the provided expert source.

• Speaking Opportunities

Clients often report getting some of their best sales leads by meeting new contacts at trade shows where they happen to be speaking. PReturn works with clients to identify the shows that matter most, track speaking proposal deadlines and requirements, craft compelling proposals to ensure clients’ best ideas and speakers get considered, and create follow up strategies whenever appropriate. PReturn also works closely with clients to develop intriguing content to help foster connections at the shows.

• Breaking News Desk

PReturn monitors breaking industry news, brings developing news items to the attention of journalists responsible for more in-depth coverage and recommends client spokespeople as expert resources for target media. The Breaking News Desk offers one of the most effective methods for earning coverage in trade publications and developing a reputation based on industry expertise.

• Industry Commentaries

Most successful companies keep their eyes on industry trends, often spotting important issues and corresponding implications before their peers. PReturn turns these insights into exposure for clients through industry commentaries, which uncover relevant research, articulate the emerging trend in a compelling manner, and position executives' expertise and opinions as resources to the media.

• Bylined Articles

Thought-provoking articles engage target audiences and effectively position brands and executives as trusted authorities. These articles provide branding value through targeted readership, but many clients get more mileage by repurposing them. While the articles cannot be self serving, they cover pressing industry issues to position the client author as an industry leader or visionary. PReturn works with clients to understand key perspectives and capture insights in “ghost written” articles which get published in leading trade and business publications under the expert’s byline. Over time, these efforts strengthen reputations and affiliated brands.
