It also builds personal branding for local brand owners, niche experts, product creators, doctors, scientists, and chefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenge: Difficulty to scale manual media outreach to media outlets in new markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of Clever Solutions\u2019 clients are small teams entering a new market or building a personal brand outside their original location. In many cases, they consist of only two or three people: a founder, a co-founder, and an assistant. Sometimes, it is just a solopreneur. They often have strong expertise, but limited PR infrastructure and no established media relationships in the markets they want to reach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help such clients build visibility, Clever Solutions uses a broader PR and positioning strategy that includes LinkedIn profile development, participation in professional events, book publishing initiatives, and media outreach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paid media placements are one of the core parts of this strategy. However, securing them in international media outlets required extensive manual outreach to media outlets across different countries. But the problem was not only the amount of time involved in communication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the challenges was adapting to local ways of doing business, which often vary from country to country. American and European media outlets often ignored outreach emails or responded with long delays. Moreover, many US editorial teams preferred phone calls over email communication, which became an unexpected challenge for the founder of Clever Solutions, who had recently relocated to the US. Even getting basic information such as media kits often required direct communication with editorial teams, and in some cases only 1 out of 100 outreach emails received a response.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building media relationships from scratch in every single country and niche was inefficient. Clever Solutions needed a tool that would allow the team to quickly secure media placements across different formats and markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goal &amp; Result: An efficient workflow for securing paid media placements across different countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To manage paid media placements more efficiently, Clever Solutions chose the PRNEWS platform. It allowed the agency to quickly find relevant media outlets across different markets matching them with specific client goals and budgets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to content formats, Clever Solutions goes beyond press releases. Obviously, they remain useful when Clever Solutions needs to gain quick initial exposure for their clients\u2019 companies, but when it comes to strengthening a founder\u2019s personal brand, interviews and thought leadership articles are the agency&#8217;s first choice. This approach became especially useful for small companies and niche experts trying to build credibility outside their local markets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PRNEWS has significantly reduced communication time with media outlets making the placement process far more predictable. Instead of spending weeks negotiating with individual editorial teams, Clever Solutions can secure media placements worldwide in days, not weeks or months.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n.prnews-review-wrap {\n  margin: 36px 0;\n  padding: 40px 40px 32px 44px;\n  border-left: 5px solid #F03C52;\n  background: #fff8f8;\n  font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, sans-serif;\n  position: relative;\n  border-radius: 0 12px 12px 0;\n  box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(240, 60, 82, 0.02);\n}\n.prnews-review-mark {\n  font-size: 3.5rem;\n  line-height: 1;\n  color: #F03C52;\n  opacity: 0.12;\n  position: absolute;\n  top: 10px;\n  left: 14px;\n  font-family: Georgia, serif;\n  font-weight: 700;\n  user-select: none;\n}\n.prnews-review-text {\n  font-size: 2.2rem;\n  line-height: 1.65;\n  color: #1a1a1a;\n  font-style: italic;\n  margin: 0 0 20px 0;\n  font-family: Georgia, \"Times New Roman\", serif;\n}\n.prnews-review-author {\n  display: flex;\n  align-items: center;\n  gap: 12px;\n  font-size: 1.8rem;\n  font-style: normal;\n  color: #888;\n  letter-spacing: 0.06em;\n  text-transform: uppercase;\n  font-weight: 600;\n}\n.prnews-review-author::before {\n  content: '';\n  display: block;\n  width: 20px;\n  height: 2px;\n  background: #F03C52;\n  flex-shrink: 0;\n}\n@media (max-width: 500px) {\n  .prnews-review-wrap { \n    padding: 32px 20px 24px 24px; \n  }\n  .prnews-review-text { \n    font-size: 1.1rem; \n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"prnews-review-wrap\">\n  <div class=\"prnews-review-mark\">\u201c<\/div>\n  <p class=\"prnews-review-text\">\u201cThanks to PRNEWS, we have fast communication with editorial teams and a reliable refund policy. That\u2019s extremely valuable. If a placement doesn\u2019t go live for some reason, we know that the funds will be returned. We once tried to publish a content piece in a Dubai media outlet through PRNEWS, but unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t work out. That wasn&#8217;t the platform\u2019s issue; it was a problem with the media outlet\u2019s editorial team. Thanks to PRNEWS, we were able to easily pivot and place the content in a European media outlet instead.\u201d<\/p>\n  <div class=\"prnews-review-author\">Olga Maraeva, founder of Clever Solutions<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next steps: Expanding clients\u2019 media presence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clever Solutions plans to continue using paid media placements as part of broader strategies focused on strengthening personal branding and product awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency is also developing its own visibility initiatives, including an international competition <a href=\"https:\/\/nwa-award.com\/\">The Nextwave Awards<\/a> for entrepreneurs and industry professionals.
