KMP Presents PR 2.0

Just when you're getting your head around the concept of web 2.0 and all the connotations that go with it, another buzzword pops up with something new to learn! This time it’s the turn of PR 2.0.

KMP's Chairman, Bill Daring explains,"The PR industry has historically been very traditional, and whilst other brand-based communication disciplines have embraced the web 2.0 revolution, PR seems to have been left behind."

However, thanks to KMP, PR is about to be liberated with an innovative tool kit of sophisticated online press rooms, highly optimised social media releases, and blog technology. "We are not looking to replace the traditional PR role", says Daring, "but this dynamic toolkit can really strengthen a company's outbound communications strategy by reaching users that current techniques don’t reach." KMP’s online press room (PressRoom) is bursting with functionality, and acts as the hub for all internal PR activity. PR agencies will have password controlled access to a "stable" of client press rooms and each instance of PressRoom will feature:

  • Complete company profile with key contacts and links to online profiles
