How Can Beauty Brands Get PR Coverage without a New Launch?

Date

“We find our beauty brands only gets PR coverage when we launch a beauty product. How do we start getting evergreen press coverage?”

I heard this recently on a discovery call with the marketing director at an established beauty brand. It’s a GREAT question!

Essentially, this brand noticed an uptick whenever they launched a new product. But, they didn’t know how to maintain momentum in media coverage throughout the year.

They wanted to bring on a PR agency to create a more consistent pitching cadence. They were hoping for an increase in evergreen content, and not just coverage tied to new launches.

This is SUCH a smart approach – with so many benefits. Beauty brands need PR support year-round, not just at launch time.

A steady stream of coverage throughout the year boosts brand awareness, establishes credibility and trust, and keeps the brand story top of mind.

When working with clients, we’ve secured coverage in outlets like InStyle, VOGUE, and ELLE – without a new product launch.
