Morgan, Chris and Ian discuss:

- Making the shift from focusing on product features to framing the messaging in a way that highlights the problems that the product solves.
- Using the data and insights generated by a product to create unique and compelling stories that showcase the product’s capabilities.
- The rise in alternative review channels such as influencers, industry analysts and review sites.
- Leveraging a company’s own user conference to announce product news can maximize event impact and create a buzz for product launches.

While the approach has evolved, product PR remains an essential component of a comprehensive B2B marketing strategy, helping to maintain visibility, communicate innovation, and support broader brand messaging. What will you do to keep up with the trends?
