As a novel start-up in a poorly-researched space, we needed to validate the problems Whirli is solving. Sapio Research were fantastic partners from start to finish – creative in brainstorming angles, careful in designing the questions, and rigorous in analysing the results. The research brought a wealth of insights, backed by hard figures, for our business decision making and for us to talk about publicly in the press.
Whether in-house or agency, PR & Communications professionals create engagement strategies, commonly achieved through a better understanding of the audience, brand, or through thought leadership and content research.
You have to create the opportunities. You’re expected to constantly find new ways of pitching messages to the media, or create original, authoritative hero pieces. So, you need to have your finger on the pulse when it comes to trends in the media landscape.
Your target media (to understand or influence) can trade press aimed at a B2B audience, or a straightforward consumer press. So, you could need to survey IT Decision makers, employees or nationally representative consumers. Your reach might be UK only or international. No problem, we can help. With have access to over 100 million people in 50 countries, we have an incredible reach, just like you do.
We work with a lot of smaller PR & Communications agencies and have seen them grow tremendously. We also work with the world leaders. Every project is bespoke and we only take on projects we can achieve.
