(INDIANAPOLIS – October 1, 2020) – BLASTmedia, the only PR agency dedicated to B2B SaaS, ranked sixth on the Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s list of Best Places to Work in Indiana and received a Pinnacle Award from the PRSA Hoosier Chapter for work in media relations. Recognition by these two groups demonstrate the strength of BLASTmedia’s culture and the work executed on behalf of B2B SaaS companies.
In a year of banana bread, athleisure and video calls, our team was still all about B2B SaaS PR. In 2020, our team writes over fifty blogs a year on topics ranging from SaaS PR predictions and emerging media outlets to PR’s impact on SEO and key PR metrics for SaaS companies.
These blogs share best practices we’ve gleaned from our work with the media and insights from SaaS marketing leaders, but also some of the biggest trends in SaaS PR
Looking back on a year that, to put it gently, went completely off track, I was surprised to see many of our predictions for 2020 panned out (on the PR front). This year, we saw fewer SaaS marketing execs using share of voice as their standalone metric to measure the success of PR. We also saw a much closer integration between our clients and their customers — so much so that we now offer to interview and write customer stories on behalf of our clients.
Year after year, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and the rush of seasonal purchases leave the supply chain industry with little room to budge. Now, in the COVID-19 pandemic, with online shopping predicted to increase 33%, trucking companies and their fleets are feeling fatigued…
Voicing your opinion is now easier than ever before, which may be why it seems like every B2B SaaS company has a thought leader on hand these days. When comments are a commodity, it can be hard for SaaS thought leaders to stand out in a crowded space, much less lead the conversation.
Successful public relations programs require proactive and strategic planning. That planning must be grounded in research. It should be the first step in the process — followed by planning, implementation and evaluation.
2020 has been the year of the unprecedented, which has forced industries, organizations, leaders and teams to prepare for both the known and the unknown. The threats that couldn’t be seen have often been the scariest and, in turn, a challenge for security teams.
