Relevance is the fit between your stories and the problems people leaders are trying to solve right now. It’s the point where your expertise meets their agenda, being useful, timely and aligned with the pressures and priorities of modern work.

The key elements of PR relevance

We do all this using our RelevanceEngine

Our proprietary planning process underpins all of our services, driving PR relevance and impact through a continuous cycle.

How the RelevanceEngine works

Relevance Gap

We score your PR using key indicators of relevance – from audience perception, brand positioning, awareness, influence and engagement. We assess how your stories stack up against the things your audience cares about most, media themes, trends and HR conversations. You get a clear view of where you’re relevant and what needs to shift across five core pillars.

  • Competitor PR audit
  • Media landscape scan
  • Search and trend analysis
  • Social conversation mapping
  • A relevance gap score

Relevance Roadmap

Using your relevance score, we build a strategic plan to bridge the gap. Rooted in insights, sector trends, challenges and priorities of your HR audience, the roadmap turns insight into strategy. We define themes to own, audiences to reach and messages that cut through, all shaped by sector trends and relevance gaps.

  • Prioritised themes and narratives
  • Defined target audiences
  • Recommended story formats
  • A 90-day action plan
  • Messaging framework

Relevance Program

We create a 90-day delivery cycle to keep you relevant. We deliver targeted stories, content and campaigns that raise your relevance with people leaders. Short cycles keep your PR aligned to with what’s happening in the world of work and with HR leaders.

  • Story development
  • PR asset creation
  • Thought leadership creation
  • Campaign activation

Relevance Review

We continually review and rescore your relevance. We look at coverage, sentiment and competitors to identify how your program is performing. You get clear recommendations on what’s working, what’s fading and where to focus next.

  • Competitor movement tracking
  • Insights into trends and themes
  • Monthly relevance rescoring 
  • Performance reporting on stories
