Lovebombing: Developing a Daily Process of Engagement

Stronger connections benefit business. From strategic alliances and sourcing investment to business growth and development, regular engagement with your target audiences will make a positive impact on your business. When the heat is on at work and teams are under pressure this is an area which often gets pushed aside, so putting a system in place for daily engagement with your audiences is important.

Developing a daily process of engagement does not have to be complicated or onerous. It can be as simple as identifying 5 key influencers and ensuring you make regular contact with these people. Influencers are people who will help you develop your business in some way, shape, or form. They may, for example, be excellent at introductions to venture capitalists, or a journalist covering your area of expertise.

Don’t forget target audiences and engagement is not limited to external audiences. Often the biggest advocates are those people who sit right next to you each day … employees. ‘Employee engagement’ is the catch phrase de jour as Britain exits recession and employers are keen to hold on to talented people. BUT, involving and appealing to employees should not be something which is left to chance or a post-recession activity.

Employees are the backbone of your organisation and will voluntarily publicise your business if they are happy working there. One of the first things people ask at social gathering is, ‘what do you do?’ A happy and engaged employee will not only say what they do but they will praise where they work. Employees should be on your top 5 influencer list and are a good place to start regardless of the size of your business.

At Flourish PR, we’re frequently asked the following question:

‘I want to do PR and social media, but I don’t have a budget to hire an agency so what can I do?’

Setting up a daily process of engagement and lovebombing your influencers is a good place to start. In June, we are hosting with our partners, Brightspark Consulting , a 1 day PR & Social Media workshop designed to equip you with the latest thinking and techniques to ensure you are running a plan for 2017 that will generate leads and increase sales.

This is not your standard workshop. It’s a hands-on experience where you will gain practice and walk away with a plan, and not just the theory. Places are limited to 15 so that we can give individual attention and craft your strategy.

Book now to confirm your place.

What Is Digital PR And Is It Different To Traditional PR?

March 9, 2026

Public relations (PR) is not a new invention. In fact, the precursor to modern PR can trace its origins back centuries to the early days of mass media in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Of course, the world has changed considerably since then and the arrival of the internet forced the PR profession, along with many others, to evolve once again. This is when digital PR entered the frame. What is digital PR? As its name suggests, digital PR specifically focuses on reaching your customers in their online worlds. It’s not the same as digital marketing, but digital PR activities should tie in closely with your broader marketing strategy. Digital PR is all about starting conversations with your audience and making sure they see and hear from you in an increasingly noisy online environment. That means it needs to be carefully targeted to ensure it not only reaches the right people but that it also delivers the right message. In this way, it is not dissimilar to traditional PR, which involves placing clients in relevant print publications or broadcast shows to widen their reach. However, in the digital world, life works slightly differently. This means targeted campaigns are particularly important and the messaging you use needs to be adapted for different channels.

The Hippo, the Oxpecker, and the Truth About PR and Journalism

By Hannah Woodhead • September 5, 2025

In sub-Saharan Africa, an interesting relationship takes place hippos and oxpecker birds (honestly, bear with me on this one). The hippo needs help with the ticks and parasites that live on its skin and the oxpeckers help out by picking off the parasites and eating them. The oxpeckers get what they want – a tasty meal. And the hippo gets cleaner, healthier skin. It’s a win-win situation. It's impossible to say whether either species values the other—but each undoubtedly plays a vital role in the other's wellbeing. This example of mutualism often comes to mind when people talk about the relationship between journalists and PRs. It’s a case of mutuality, without question, but there’s often a simmering animosity between the two. To generate truly effective PR you need to understand the needs of both sides. And that’s where Flourish excels.
