Choose the audience before the outlet
Define the customer, partner, investor, policymaker, candidate or professional audience whose decision matters. Then identify the local and specialist media they actually use.
A global business title and a trade publication play different roles; neither replaces local relevance.
Make the news explicit
A product, investment, partnership, study or measurable result can create news when it changes something for the market. State that change and its timing in one sentence.
If the evidence is weak, offer informed commentary or build better data rather than exaggerating a corporate announcement.
Create a sourced evidence file
Prepare methodology, figures, availability, pricing, permissions, biographies, images and limitations. Every material claim should have an owner and source.
Translation needs local editorial and factual review; markets may change the order of arguments while preserving accuracy.
Prepare people and timing
Brief spokespeople on the local context, difficult questions and disclosure boundaries. Coordinate embargoes, time zones, owned information and follow-up contacts.
Independent editorial decisions cannot be guaranteed. Correct factual errors promptly without expecting control of the article.
Measure quality and consequence
Assess relevance, message accuracy, substantive quotation, referral behaviour, enquiries and relationship progress. Advertising value equivalence does not demonstrate reputation change.
ICON IMAGE coordinates international media relations, local specialists and commercial follow-up around one evidence-based position.
