How to garner recognition? When it comes to PR and marketing, many companies try to go it alone, at least at first. That qualifier – “at least at first” – can lead to a deadly loss of time while your competition is attacking full throttle.
Whenever we hear: “We’d rather put our resources back into R&D,” we’ve grown to recognize this as the death knell of that tech. Companies often go under within a year unless they’re bought out at fire-sale prices. I’m guessing you don’t want to be the next $30M company purchased for $3M because you couldn’t get customers into the sales funnel.
Intelligent aggression is called for. With all the cybersecurity innovations crowding the market right now, how else can you communicate your value and capture your share of the market?
To sell, you’ve got to communicate.
You’ve got to deliver the right messages to your target personas and ideal customers to inspire action and strengthen relationships. You can choose to try to do this yourself - sans the expertise and connections of a professional marketing, communications, and public relations agency - and take time away from running your company and further pursuing innovations.
If you have an in-house marketing team, they are busy with coordinating the entire marketing infrastructure, managing trade show logistics, and keeping the sales team at the ready.
Of course, you can hand over your marketing, comms, and PR needs to an agency experienced in helping cybersecurity clients communicate to drive profits. In other words, dump it all on us. Just answer the occasional email and have a weekly/biweekly/monthly call, and it’s all off your plate.
