SquirrelPR Set to Empower Startups on PR

SquirrelPR, Africa’s leading all-inclusive PR management platform, is set to empower startups at the highly anticipated #StartupSouth9 Conference. 

Scheduled for October 3-4, 2024, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, this year’s conference is themed “Deep & Broad: Extending Frontiers of Technology and Economic Development.” 

SquirrelPR will host a specialized session aimed at providing startups from the South-South and Southeast regions with actionable and cost-effective public relations strategies to foster business growth.

Empowering Startups Through PR

SquirrelPR’s session, titled “PR on a Budget: How Startups Can Compete with Big Brands,” will take place on October 4. 

Led by Jonah Solomon, a seasoned PR and marketing strategist, the masterclass will delve into essential PR principles, the PR process, and low-cost strategies that startups can utilize to enhance their brand visibility and drive profitability. 

James Ezechukwu, co-founder of SquirrelPR, emphasized the importance of this initiative: “Our goal is to provide startups with practical tools and insights that will allow them to compete on a larger scale. Many startups, particularly those that are bootstrapping, lack the resources of big brands. However, with the right PR strategies, they can still achieve significant growth.”

The session aligns perfectly with StartupSouth’s core objectives. Now in its 9th edition, StartupSouth aims to educate, connect, and attract investment to startups in the South-South and Southeast regions of Nigeria. 

By focusing on practical and accessible PR strategies, SquirrelPR seeks to equip participants with the knowledge necessary to thrive in a competitive landscape.

The Importance of Public Relations for Startups

Public relations play a critical role in shaping the perception of a brand. For many startups operating on limited budgets, effective PR can be the difference between obscurity and visibility. 

SquirrelPR’s initiative comes at a time when many emerging businesses are seeking innovative ways to market themselves without incurring significant costs.

During the session, attendees will learn about various low-cost tactics that can significantly enhance their market presence. 

These include leveraging social media platforms for brand storytelling, engaging with local communities for grassroots support, and utilizing digital content marketing strategies that require minimal investment yet yield substantial returns.

A Gathering of Innovators

The #StartupSouth9 Conference has established itself as one of Nigeria’s premier tech industry events. 

It brings together innovators, thought leaders, investors, policymakers, and founders from across the country for education, networking, and business growth opportunities. This year’s conference promises to be no different.

Participants attending SquirrelPR’s session will benefit from firsthand knowledge shared by Jonah Solomon. 

Solomon has extensive experience supporting leading tech companies in Nigeria through their early stages of growth with his PR expertise. 

His insights will be invaluable for startup founders looking to navigate the complexities of public relations effectively.
