TechPR to offer free public relations support to startups
As part of its contribution to the African tech ecosystem, leading public relations startup TechPR Nigeria, is calling startups to apply for its initiative tagged ‘Be Seen with TechPR.’
The program will provide two shortlisted startups with free PR services including storytelling,
media relations, and media audit. The shortlisted startups will get media coverage on two
relevant media platforms, introductions to key journalists covering their sectors, media relations
training, and media assessment. These services carry a market value of at least $5,000, and
are backed by experts across PR, journalism and communication.
All applicants to the initiative also get a free PR playbook highlighting best practices in gaining
visibility via leading media platforms while connecting better with journalists.
“There have been numerous conversations around early-stage startups not getting enough coverage and opportunities to tell their stories. All of which play a vital role in ensuring the progressive growth of their businesses. This program will allow TechPR to contribute towards mitigating this while providing startups with effective communication skills,” said Felicia Omari Ochelle, CEO TechPR.
Eligible startups must be companies operating in Africa with at least a minimum viable product,
traction to validate its business model, and lastly, companies at seed-stage or early stage.
Applications are now open and start-ups can apply for an opportunity to receive one-on-one
training alongside in-depth Q&A and other partner sessions. Founders will also have the
opportunity to share some of their challenges with PR and communications, while being offered
expertise and strategic solutions for a rewarding future.
Applications will close on Friday 18th November 12 pm BST. Click here to apply.
