Backbeat Marketing creates targeted public relations results for clients: third-party “they say” messages that can be used throughout your organization to open doors and close deals for your sales team. We focus on creating a universe of influencers that understand your business and deliver your key messages to your chosen audience through the voices that matter—customers and industry experts. In addition, we articulate and report your public relations results through defined metrics that appeal to your executive team and board members. We understand the ‘soft’ metrics and results that marketing agencies generally deliver when it comes to public relations: Backbeat Marketing believes in concentrating on the kind of public relations that makes a difference in sales, influence and reputation to deliver positive impacts for your company.
