A PR challenges facing technology firms in the Midlands

Technology firms in the Midlands face the same challenges that other firms do; including making their voice heard above the competition. However, they are sometimes overlooked due to perceptions about their location in relation to London- or Southern-based technology firms.  London is still where many tech outlets and journalists are located so will often meet with/associate with tech firms local to them. 

This, partly thanks to the normality of remote working practices, is changing.  PR can further assist by highlighting the exciting firms and talent that are driving economic growth and culture in the region.

The tech sector whether B2B or B2C is a saturated one. What differentiates your service, product and brand from the seemingly countless competition and ever-shifting landscape is key to increasing your customer base and market share. Navigating communicating your unique stories, positioning your business as a market leader and increasing sales can seem daunting. 

Enlisting a seasoned PR firm to guide you through the process and communicate often complex technology appropriately to your audience is essential in raising the profile of your brand. Whether you are launching a new consumer product or in the midst of introducing cutting-edge software to the market, responding to a crisis or navigating regulatory changes, ensure that your important news reaches the right audience.
