"Working with PR Volt has proven to be an instrumental part of our ongoing growth. With the national recognition they have achieved on behalf of RevAir, we have seen a significant increase in media opportunities and brand awareness. Their approach is well-executed while still being an affordable option for a small business."
Situation
Prior to 2019, RevAir was handling all PR in-house, but lacked the bandwidth necessary to connect with top-tier media or secure national TV segments. As a result, RevAir partnered with PR Volt to expand on its own outreach, increase exposure and secure media coverage that would demonstrate the effectiveness of their revolutionary hair care product. While they had worked with influencers and traditional media outlets in-house, they lacked the dedicated time to be able to get in front of top-tier beauty outlets as well as national broadcast for potential television segments. PR Volt not only offered the chance to reach these target publications, but offered data to show what was working best in terms of pitching.
Program & Strategy
PR Volt’s Campaign Management Team worked closely with the RevAir team to build a strategy centered around demonstrating the hair dryer in action and building recognition among top-tier media in print, online and broadcast. PR Volt then crafted focused pitches that were not only informative, but employed the fun and playful voice of the RevAir brand.
As part of the overall strategy, PR Volt worked to highlight a different aspect of the product with each campaign, from its ability to work with diverse hair types to the long-term benefits of using less heat on tresses. Campaigns aimed to help editors understand the value and long-term cost-comparison savings of the innovative tool. Since the RevAir team sought to visually demonstrate the RevAir in action, PR Volt shared video demos and delighted customer reactions to engage editors and producers.
Implementing a drip sequence in media outreach, PR Volt was able to maximize results and increase interest from top-tier media. Additionally, by utilizing informative data and PR Volt’s unique artificial intelligence system, the PR Volt team was able to better position the brand and optimize future campaigns for success.
