Case Study
Public Relations Campaign - Jungheinrich
Often PR success is measured in how many plates can be kept spinning in the air. But it’s not only the spinning, but the fine tuning of each public relations campaign that determines the winning strategy.
Challenge
To get the editors of logistics-related trade media (and their audiences) up-to-speed quickly on Jungheinrich’s entry into the U.S. market and introduce them to their state-of-the-art electric lift trucks.
Solution
We kicked off the public relations campaign by hosting a
press event featuring a mini trade show and one-on-one meetings with
Jungheinrich principals. The event was promoted through a series of e-mails and
telephone calls emphasizing Jungheinrich’s commitment to the U.S. market, the
superior engineering of their vehicles, their attention to ‘green’, and the
opportunity to spend quality time with Jungheinrich’s management. All key
editors/publications—over a dozen of them—attended the event, relationships
were forged, the event was well covered in the press, and a steady stream of
news and articles followed.
