Some of Brenner Associates’ Internet PR credos affect basic strategies:
- How and when to use press releases
- The power of the blog
- Social networking sites as a powerful business tool
- The critical use of the Internet to gain mainstream media attention
- Search engine optimization techniques

- Curtailing crisis communications, monitoring and controlling customer discourse through RSS, wikkis, forums, podcasting, social networks and other realities of the new digital landscape.
While only 10% to 20% of pubic relations firms have dedicated expertise in digital communications, more than 90% of the mainstream press depends upon the Internet to get story ideas, research topics and identify thought leaders for publishable quotes. In addition, 30% to 78% of your customers are most likely using Internet tools to help them make purchasing decision. The bottom line is that, in today’s world, the success of your public relations strategy will depend, in large part, on the way your PR campaign incorporates the Internet – to communicate, to monitor, and to build brand loyalty. Brenner Associates is one of Portland Oregon’s premier experts at this evolving new reality.
