Are you sick of your own ads?

You’ve been using the same logo and ad campaign for a while now. You’ve seen it so many times that you’re frankly getting a little sick and tired of it. Is it time to launch a new campaign? Start investigating a new logo?

Not so fast. Research shows that by time you’ve tired of your branding, the general public (your potential clients) have probably just begun to notice it. Regardless of the PR and marketing tactics you use, a key rule of marketing is that you must repeat your message to the same audience over and over again. Even if you’re annoyed seeing your television ad yet again, it takes many exposures before most people will even notice it, let alone recall it. (Research says we must see and hear an advertising message at least six times before it “sticks.”)

PR Briefs is a blog of tips, resources and case studies for the public relations professional and the PR novice. Feel free to comment, re-post or ask questions—I hope you enjoy your experience here.

PR and marketing have been the focus of my career for the past 30 years. As an ad agency client during the early years, I got to experience a birds-eye view of agencies and the experience wasn't always a good one. When Ideaworks opened in 1995, we were determined to break the mold, and after 15 years, more than 300 awards and hundreds of client referrals, I think we're starting to get there.
