Finally, I’ll write about how Eric Ries and the Lean Startup concept provided the equivalent model for product development activities inside the building and neatly integrates customer and agile development. The PR agency helps the company understand and influence key bloggers, social networks, industry analysts, luminaries, and references.

Announce a new product, start its PR campaign, and engage in buzz marketing activities. If you are having trouble raising money, sometimes a little PR can help.

The higher the vanity ratio, the more effective the PR. It helps companies with PR. And companies crave positive PR and control over their message – all for rational reasons.

This is completely analogous to the situation elsewhere on the internet, where launching a new website, product, or service with PR is getting harder and harder. On the web, we have many of these channels: SEM, SEO, world of mouth, PR and viral. Dont do PR upfront, dont put out a press release. My advice: dont launch big.

Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Wednesday, April 7, 2010 Learning is better than optimization (the local maximum problem) Lean startups don’t optimize. What the PR stories tend to leave out is that we can get attached to every part of our vision, even the dumb parts. Unfortunately, startup success requires getting them all right.

Every marketing communication hire couldn’t wait to produce the next great ad or PR program. But without sales there is no revenue, and without revenue there is no company. Their own internal culture would tie them up in knots, and agile startups could run rings around them. Don’t let this happen to your company.
