Understanding Public Relations for B2B Companies

B2B PR is Different. Learn How to Think Differently.
Public relations for business-to-business (B2B) purposes is vastly different than public relations for companies that sell products and services primarily to consumers (B2C). It requires specialized knowledge, deep industry connections, and a results-first mindset – focused more on driving business outcomes than on “winning” media exposure.
Few agencies specialize in driving high-value results for B2B clients, which is why ThinkInk was founded: to fill the larger market void for business-focused communications experts in the agency landscape. And with few high-quality resources explaining the unique value and importance of B2B PR available online, ThinkInk is filling a void again – this time by releasing an insightful new guide designed to inform and educate B2B stakeholders on the value of B2B PR.
