PROCESS

Dubbed “Effectual Strategy at Work” Eberly & Collard Public Relations has designed a streamlined approach to guide businesses in the process of proactively engaging customers and clients; creating mutually beneficial relationships with members of the media; and gleaning productive associations with industry influencers, communities and other constituencies.

The process involves a simplified combination of activities designed to quickly, yet comprehensively, evaluate a business’s market segmentations, competitive intelligence, product or service categories, and brand-based communicative outreach methods.

Our Process

Our process leaves no stone unturned in the development and execution of business-to-business, business-to-consumer or business-to-community messaging across traditional and nontraditional communication channels.

Though, while we have designed the process in a style befitting most client scenarios, each client’s process and program is customizable and managed individually.

For some of our clients, select aspects of our effectual process can be mobilized, whereas for our larger, national and international clients, we often implement the process in its entirety. In any case, we help our clients decide the most time- and cost-effective means to achieve their PR goals.
