Awards are a great way to get your market talking about your business. Last year we published 10 FinTech Awards to consider entering in 2020, which we have expanded this year to include the RegTech sector. Read on to learn how awards can help raise your profile and view the list of 10 Awards that FinTech and RegTech firms should consider for 2021 – all in date order.
From the Financial Times to Finextra, the Covid-19 pandemic and the US election continue to dominate news headlines, and it can feel like an impossible task to get the media talking about your company. But while these are front-page stories that impact us all, journalists and readers are still hungry for good news stories, especially with so much change and disruption in the world around us.
In a recent Guardian Masterclass “Pitching to journalists: a practical workshop”, Kate Carter, a freelance journalist and the lifestyle editor at The Guardian, shared her advice for business owners, social media experts and PR professionals to refine develop trusted and mutually valuable relationships with the right journalists.
The masterclass was a timely reminder of the proactive things we can do either as company founders, in-house communications executives or PR agents, to be of greater service to journalists. We’ve already talked about the how fintechs can build rapport with journalists on the MD Consulting blog, so here I look at three ways you can make a journalist’s life easier and increase the chances of getting coverage for your organisation.
With the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world, life as we know it has suddenly and dramatically changed. While effort and action, quite rightly, is focused on containing the spread of the coronavirus and saving lives by temporarily shutting down many industries, it has resulted in fluctuating markets and stock exchanges around the world, and a global recession seems inevitable. It can be difficult not to feel pessimistic or constrained.
As 2019 draws to a close, it is time to start planning for the new year. In helping our clients with their PR and marketing plans, we always look at external dates and deadlines, such as editorial calendars for target publications, speaking submission deadlines for events, and entry deadlines for business and industry awards, to organise activity across each quarter.
We think we’ve got some interesting experience and professional backgrounds on the MD Consulting team, so it’s about time we told you a bit more about ourselves.
