Year after year, digital technology advances by leaps and bounds, bringing with it new ways of communicating and eliminating geographical barriers to make way for instantaneity. Traditional media, while engaging in journalistic practices that involve research and fieldwork, are not exempt from the advances of the digital age. This has led them to adopt new formats and create spaces that allow them to reinvent themselves or stay at the forefront of the globalized world.
New Challenges for PR Strategies in the Digital Context
According to the “Digital News Report 2024” by Reuters Institute and the University of Oxford, it is urgent that Latin American media adapt to the new digital dynamics. This will not only allow them to address the challenges of misinformation but also to adapt to the changing preferences of their audience. In Colombia, the presence of digital media has increased, especially after the pandemic, but traditional media still plays a crucial role, facing significant challenges for their PR strategies.
Today, media not only includes reports filled with images, videos, and audio, but also formats such as podcasts, interactive infographics, and live broadcasts. These formats do not allow for editing or omission of information, which creates new challenges for PR strategies that must quickly adapt to these changes.
Positioning International Brands in Colombia
Positioning international brands in Colombia requires a solid PR strategy, which should not only focus on visibility but also on building a lasting reputation. It is important to understand the local context and the dynamics of the media in the country.
In a country with a great diversity of both traditional and digital media, PR strategies must be capable of integrating them effectively. Adapting to new formats and understanding how to interact with the media is essential to capturing the public’s attention and ensuring that the brand achieves its positioning goal and maintains a solid reputation.
The Role of Strategic Allies in PR Strategies
When there is no deep knowledge of the market or new ways to communicate in the digital environment, it is advisable to partner with experts. Strategic alliances with professionals who have experience in the local market are essential for executing effective, large-scale PR strategies.
Adaptability and knowledge of new digital formats play a key role in the success of any PR strategy. Working with allies who understand both the local and global dynamics and who are familiar with current tools enables brands to position themselves properly in the Colombian market.
