RHR International, a leading global leadership training/strategy firm in business for 70+ years, was seeking a PR and marketing program to help modernize its messaging and showcase its experts within media as the industry leaders they are. Before FischTank, there had never been a real proactive media relations campaign, the Company’s LinkedIn page was stale, and the firm’s partners did not understand the value of media in the greater picture of marketing and business development. They also wanted to be sure to differentiate themselves from the “social media coaches” out there, as they work exclusively with CEOs and executives within the Fortune 500.
From the media side, the first step toward success was developing our bench of media spokespeople and undergoing a brief media training to explain what we are trying to achieve. This also enabled us to build messaging for each practice area to ensure consistency. From there, our approach was two-fold – proactive thought leadership on key business leadership topics, and trendjacking relevant news (CEO moves, leadership issues, etc.) to speak as an authority.
For social media, we developed a cadence of monthly posts that had more variety, aimed at audience growth and engagement. We utilized tactics like videos, polls, and relevant hashtags to enhance our content, while also building an employee advocacy plan to ensure RHR team members were engaging and bringing content to their own (important) audiences.
Since beginning work with FischTank, RHR has been featured in more than 200 articles and leading outlets including WSJ, NYT, Fortune, Forbes, Newsweek, Financial Times, Bloomberg, and the key trades read by HR executives. We have developed an expert spokesperson bench that is sought after by journalists, who reach out monthly asking to speak to RHR experts on a variety of topics. These articles are also utilized in sales and marketing efforts across the firm, and have driven direct incoming new business interest for the company.
On social, the LinkedIn audience has grown exponentially and consistently beats monthly benchmarks for post engagement, follower growth, and more.
