As the founder of an analytics and PR firm, data has been key to driving many of our decisions. One example was when we analyzed traffic sources for a tech client launching a new product. We found their audience was most engaged on Tuesday mornings. This insight directly led us to issue their press release on a Tuesday at 10 AM. For an e-cimmerce client, we studied on-site behavior and found visitors from mobile were much more likely to buy. We pitched mobile media, generating coverage that spiked their mobile sales. Mining data for insights and taking calculated risks based on metrics, not hunches, has been crucial to our success. The days of "gut instinct" PR are over; data-driven decisions are the future. For any company, I'd advise analyzing your audience and metrics to uncover key patterns. Then, take action on those insights to achieve goals and grow revenue. Data doesn't lie.
I used data analytics to understand which topics reporters were most interested in. By tailoring our press releases to match these interests, we increased our chances of media coverage. We also analyzed audience data to optimize our paid media spending, ensuring our messages reached the right audience. This data-driven approach improved our media engagement and made our PR efforts more effective.
In a crisis management situation, data analytics guided our messaging. Our client was a consumer product brand who was getting slammed on social media due to a product recall. By analyzing social media sentiment and the top concerns from customers, we found that confusion about the recall process was the biggest issue, not the recall itself. With that insight we quickly created clear, transparent messaging that walked through the recall process step by step and shared it via press releases, social media and email. The data driven messaging helped to reduce the negative sentiment, with engagement metrics showing a big drop in negative mentions and an increase in positive feedback. We managed the crisis because the data gave us a clear view of customer concerns and we could address them directly and rebuild trust.
In one instance, I was working with a client in the retail sector who was experiencing inconsistent media coverage and engagement. We used data analytics to dive into customer sentiment and media trends, examining which types of stories and messaging were resonating most with their audience across different platforms. Through sentiment analysis and social listening tools, we identified that their customers were most responsive to stories that highlighted sustainability and ethical sourcing, but their current PR strategy was focusing more on product features. By shifting the narrative to emphasize their commitment to sustainability and highlighting relevant partnerships, we saw a significant boost in positive media coverage and customer engagement. The data clearly showed us where the gap was between what the brand was saying and what the audience wanted to hear, allowing us to pivot the PR strategy effectively.
We once faced a challenging situation where customer reviews were mixed despite our confidence in the product. We turned to data analytics to inform our PR strategy and used natural language processing tools to analyze customer reviews and social media comments. It categorized them by sentiment and identified common themes in both positive and negative feedback. We learned that many negative reviews stemmed from misunderstandings about how to use the product correctly. We made a critical PR decision to launch an educational campaign instead of defending the product's quality. This data-driven approach addressed the root cause of negative reviews and positioned us as a company committed to customer education and satisfaction. We saw a major improvement and a boost in sales.
As CEO of Rocket Alumni Solutions, data has driven every strategic decision for our company since day 1. Early on, we analyzed trends in education technology and found an opportunity in digital alumni recognition. Our research showed schools were struggling to showcase their history and engage communities. We launched an interactive display to address this need. After collecting usage data from our first 50 clients, we found students and visitors were spending 3x more time engaging with the displays than anticipated. We leveraged this insight to optimize the user experience, leading to a 40% increase in new school partnerships over 6 months. When we expanded into athletics, data revealed coaches were wasting 10+ hours per week maintaining static record boards and paper archives. We built a digital solution to automate these tasks. Within a year, we signed 150 athletic programs by demonstrating how our platform could save each over 500 hours of work annually. Most recently, we used data to facilitate a strategic acquisition. Analysis of 3 years of financial reports showed a competitor with technology synergies was struggling to scale. We approached them with a custom pitch highlighting how a merger could benefit both companies. They accepted, and we gained their 200+ clients, accelerating our growth by over 80% this quarter alone. Data-driven decisions have been crucial to overcoming each challenge in our startup journey. By constantly collecting and analyzing data on our industry, clients, and business, we gain insights that fuel innovation and partnerships enabling us to better serve and grow with our customers.
As CEO of ENX2 Legal Marketing, data has been instrumental in driving our PR and content strategies. One example was when we analyzed keywords and traffic sources for an employment law client. We found their audience responded most to content focused on workplace harassment and discrimination issues, published on Mondays and Thursdays. This data directly led us to pitch media with story ideas and press releases on these topics, on those days, resulting in coverage that drove a 32% increase in qualified leads. For a family law client, we studied how visitors engaged with content on their site and found video posts held attention the longest.

We worked with family travel outlets, securing features on how our tech optimizes ads for families. The resulting coverage led to a 20% increase in family bookings for multiple hotel clients.

After a month, direct bookings from social were up 43% and average booking values rose 15%. More recently, a client approached us looking to boost midweek bookings.

As the founder of an analytics and marketing firm, data drives all of our decisions. One example was when a client wanted to improve lead generation. By analyzing their website analytics, social media insights and customer feedback, we found their target audience responded best to video content focused on common pain points. We created an explainer video for their service and promoted it through social media ads. The video received over 100,000 views and became their top traffic source for the month. More importantly, it generated a 27% increase in qualified leads from the previous month. For any business, analyze metrics to uncover key trends and opportunities.

Here is my draft response: As someone who has been doing data-driven digital marketing for over 15 years, I can provide several examples of using analytics to inform PR decisions. A recent case was when a tech client wanted to announce a new product. By analyzing traffic and engagement data from their website and social media, we saw that the audience was most active and responsive on Tuesday mornings. This data point drove our decision to issue the press release on a Tuesday at 10 AM. For another client, an e-commerce company, we analyzed on-site behavior and found that visitors coming from mobile were much more likely to purchase than those on desktop.

We immediately pitched relevant media, securing coverage in top industry publications that Wednesday.

As a marketing operations leader, data guides my every decision. Early on, analysis of 10,000+ reviews revealed many authors received poor feedback due to predatory publisher behavior and lack of communication. For a romance author, data showed her target readers preferred ebooks and audiobooks. I advised avoiding print-focused publishers. She signed with a digital publisher, and ebook/audiobook sales rose 60% in a year. A children's author feared unreasonable contract terms from a small press. I analyzed 100+ of their contracts, finding rights grabs and no royalty audits. I showed her industry standards so she could negotiate. She amended the terms and kept control of key rights, avoiding future issues. Data exposes predation and helps authors make informed choices for long careers. Metrics on publishers, readers and standards cut through noise. My goal is providing insights authors can trust.
