DJI - CASE STUDY

INITIAL PROBLEM
Upon initial engagement with DJI (Chinese consumer drone maker) in November 2012, the company had no brand awareness in the US and had secured no coverage amongst mainstream or vertical media (outside the APAC region). PRIME|PR was tasked with rapidly building the DJI brand and helping to change the negative perception of drones in the North American market.

RESULTS
Within six months, DJI was hailed as the new “Apple” and had secured hundreds of articles highlighting their innovative quality and benefits of the product to professional and amateur videogr aphers alike. When the engagement ended in April of 2014 (due to all operations going back to China), PRIME|PR had secured more than 600 unique, proactive articles (1000s of additional reactive articles) for an ad equivalency rating of more than $80M, positioned Colin Guinn (DJI NA CEO) as the absolute expert for US-based drone/UAS discussions and placed Colin Guinn in more than 20 top-tier speaking slots and four keynotes.

Whether you just need a quick PR-related question answered, an unbiased review of a press release, a sounding board for whether your pitch should be offered to everyone or as an exclusive – PRIME|PR is ready to help.

If you need more – top level strategy on messaging and branding, creative pitch creation and execution to get more ink, or a fully integrated PR and marketing campaign from scratch, PRIME|PR is your agency. Let us show you what we can do.

At PRIME|PR, we understand that selecting the right public relations partner is crucial for your business. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions tailored to the overall industry and specifically to our agency.

Answer:  At PRIME|PR, we have extensive experience in technology and B2B industries, successfully representing a diverse range of clients from start-ups to Fortune 100 companies. Our team of experts stays up-to-date on industry trends, ensuring we have the necessary knowledge and expertise to effectively represent your company. Our founder, Nicolia Wiles, was a Gartner analyst before starting PRIME|PR and has some of the best tech expertise f any PR professional today.

Answer: This is one of the most important questions to ask any PR firm. Unlike other firms that have different bills rates for staff according to title/position, we use a single bill rate of $150/hour for everyone that works on your account – but one of the biggest differences for our firm is that we have no junior staff, so you always work with someone with at least 15 years experience (which is typically $400+/hour at other firms).

Answer: In almost every client engagement, we start with foundational messaging to ensure you are telling the right story to the right people. We’ll then update all marketing material (including your website) and create a 12-month Communication Plan that we’ll use as a tool to make sure we are building your brand in the most effective way possible. We’ll then create individualized monthly plans that we’ll use to prioritize activity together – this also ensure that everyone from the CEO down knows exactly what is happening, what to expect and how to judge success each month.

Answer: Absolutely! We are proud of our track record and are happy to share case studies and examples of successful campaigns we’ve executed. Our portfolio showcases our strategic approach to public relations and demonstrates our ability to deliver results. Our Case Study page provides some immediate examples.

Answer: We measure success by assessing various data metrics, such as media coverage, audience reach, and impact on brand reputation. We work closely with our clients to set realistic expectations and strategic KPIs custom to their individual pain points and goals. We use multiple software packages to track everything from media engagement to sales.

Answer: Our strong media network is one of our core strengths. We have established relationships with key journalists, influencers, and other relevant media contacts, enabling us to secure valuable coverage for our clients.
