Executive Profiling FAQs
What is executive profiling?
Executive profiling is an established PR strategy aimed at enhancing or building the reputation of your company’s C-suite and thought leaders. On the PR front, executive profiling involves equipping executives to adeptly handle interviews with the media, facilitating relationships with journalists, developing thought leadership angles, submitting award nominations, and coordinating speaking engagements. A comprehensive executive profiling program may also include content and social media services.
Which executives should we focus on for our executive profiling program?
Which executives to focus on depends on several factors, including:
- Your broader marketing and communication strategy
- The experience and confidence levels of your executives in effectively utilizing earned media opportunities
- Your target audience(s)
- The overarching goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) of the PR program
Some programs achieve success by limiting executive profiling to 1-2 key executives, while others may have a bench of 10 or more thought leaders. In general, C-suite titles tend to resonate more strongly with the media, especially national and top-tier outlets. However, other titles can be effective for highly targeted, niche audiences.
My executive only wants to be featured in top-tier media. How will you accomplish that?
Walker Sands employs a highly personalized and relationship-driven approach to media relations, especially when it comes to top-tier media. We start by understanding your goals and positioning, then identify specific reporters and craft personalized outreach plans. In most cases, building ongoing personal connections between your executives and target journalists is the cornerstone to securing top-tier coverage. For instance, we can arrange in-person coffee chats to enable reporters to get to know your executives on a one-on-one basis. Additionally, we work closely with your marketing team to make sure we have all the necessary elements for top-tier success, including compelling data, customer stories, announcements and more.
