Preguntas frecuentes
At BlockPR, we believe that public relations should be treated as a functional business asset rather than a decorative luxury for a website. Instead of focusing on vanity metrics or spreadsheets full of low-quality links, strategic PR should focus on outcomes that move capital and build long-term institutional trust. This approach ensures that public relations efforts contribute directly to the growth and stability of a company, especially within the fast-moving tech and fintech sectors.
Many founders in Web3 and enterprise tech fall into the trap of paying high monthly retainers for traditional PR that prioritizes effort over actual impact. This often results in coverage on obscure news sites with zero readers, which essentially burns capital for the sake of vanity. Jackson and Nia highlight that the traditional industry often sells the hours spent sending emails rather than the strategic results that a business needs to succeed in competitive markets.
In rapidly evolving industries like crypto, fintech, and enterprise tech, companies cannot afford to simply buy words or empty press coverage. A strategic narrative is essential because it helps build institutional trust and moves capital by communicating a clear, impactful story to the right audience. By moving away from the cycle of vanity metrics, founders can use strategic public relations to create a meaningful impact on their business's bottom line and industry reputation.
