We’ve provided PR services to clients within the following sectors: smart metering, smart home platforms and M2M across auto, health, parking and more.
We’ve seen the excitement around the endless possibilities of smart devices, the opportunities for developers and smaller companies to work with larger organisations, and also heard about concerns re security as more data is made available to companies.

Overall, a PR agency can help M2M and IoT companies increase their visibility, credibility, and reputation in the market, which can ultimately lead to increased sales and growth.
PR challenges facing M2M and IoT industry players
Managing customer privacy and data security is something that is key in M2M and IoT. As both technologies continue to grow, companies must ensure that customer data remains secure and private. PR can help support this via key messaging and media outreach to establish and build trust with your customers and to demonstrate that you connected devices, products and solutions are reliable and secure.
Consumers may be wary of new technology and the potential risks associated with it. So, to alleviate consumer concerns, you really should highlight and showcase the benefits and address any worries they might still have. A PR strategy focused around thought leadership can help you educate customers on how M2M and IoT technology can be used to benefit their lives.
Thought leadership can also include establishing your company as experts and the go-to choice via securing opportunities for you to speak at conferences and events, participate in industry discussions and get invited to roundtables.
As technology evolves, companies must stay up to date on the latest advancements in order to remain competitive, so establishing a strong brand identity is essential in a crowded market. A PR agency can help M2M and IoT companies build relationships with journalists and media outlets to ensure that their products and services are front of mind and covered regularly, so potential customers read all about you and what you are offering.
