We introduced Mark Petchey to Nielson and advised on a PR strategy to utilise his time as a brand ambassador to generate awareness in the target media and consumer audiences. We suggested the following PR strategy: Creating a tennis hub for the Neilson website to host tennis specific content Hosting a pre-season tennis training workshop for Neilson Head tennis coaches Launching pre-wimbledon when tennis related stories are in demand from the UK tennis media A press trip to a Neilson Beachclub for the national media to receive coaching from Mark Key messaging linked to participation and enjoyment not performance Working in partnership with David Lloyd Leisure to build links as perfect customer demographic Create editorial feature opportunities in the target national media Create branded video content with Mark endorsing the Neilson programme to boost SEO Create content around the most popular Google search terms to increase optimisation and pick up A fully integrated approach with digital and social channels to ensure maximum impact driving traffic back to the tennis hub for online bookings
