We will accomplish this through demand-creation activities (advertising, PR, tradeshows, seminars, web sites, etc.), The same was true for PR. And the results weren’t the traditional PR metrics of number of articles or inches of ink. The Potrero benchmark strategy was one component of this creating end user demand through PR.)

Now as VP of Marketing, I could have sat back and let my PR agency handle the press. The head of the PR agency agreed that we would work together as a team. The Potrero benchmark strategy was one component of this creating end user demand through PR.) Theoretically, that’s why I hired them. You don’t delegate life and death.

The PR agency helps the company understand and influence key bloggers, social networks, industry analysts, luminaries, and references. Freemium models have their own scorekeeping.)

Marketing starts to build a sales demo, writes sales materials (presentations, data sheets), and hires a PR agency. The PR agency polishes the positioning and starts contacting the long lead-time press while Marketing starts the branding activities.
