The fiction of the quick hit in PR | SHIFT Communications | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

One of the most common questions asked of us in the PR and earned media world is, “I need a quick hit. Can you get me a quick hit?”, implying that a company needs very fast, very short term audience generation. Unless you’ve got something absolutely groundbreaking, mind-blowingly awesome, the chances are that no agency, even us, will get you what you want – the world beating a path to your door instantly at relatively low cost due to favorable media coverage.

But before getting into the release of the study and why you never heard about it, it might be worthwhile to take a look at the findings. Some are surprising; others reinforce what we already know. It was released just just prior to Thanksgiving....

 

In the end, somehow the whole thing was produced as a social media page with no defined audience or purpose and then announced via a traditional newswire blast with no intended audience beyond everybody. So what happened? Pretty much nothing, despite some relatively decent findings that have been ignored.
