SIX BENEFITS OF PR FOR BUSINESSES
Public relations (PR) is defined by the Cambridge dictionary as “The activity of keeping good relationships between organisations and the general public.” It can help a business build strong connections with the people they’d like to become their customers. It helps a business build its reputation and get talked about by the right people, in the right places.
Whether you do your own PR or employ a professional PR agency to do it for you, all businesses need to use it to evolve and grow. Here are six reasons why:
1. Brand values
Every business has values that represent what makes it tick, and how and why they do what they do. But there’s little point in having strong values if no one knows about them. PR helps tell people about those values and why they make a particular business worth listening to and buying from.
Good PR helps a business connect with people who share similar values. In time, those values will be what people associate with, when they think of the brand. Building a good reputation by communicating and connecting with the right people is at the heart of PR and a crucial segment of a successful business.
2. PR helps to improve a business’s authority
A business’s reputation is built on what it does well. To be successful, it needs loyal customers who know they can trust the business to do what it says it will. When people trust you, they tell other people about you and why you’re good at what you do.
PR can help a business build its authority and become known as an industry leader in its field. Publishing high-quality articles in the right places helps to improve a business’s reputation as a credible source of information. This helps to set the business apart from competitors and become the go-to in their industry.
3. Using media relations to generate positive attention
Being talked about positively in the media is a great way for a business to grow. The key is knowing who to talk to so that the right people hear and read what is being said. A full-page interview in a fitness magazine will do very little to spread the word about a new manufacturing firm that specialises in gaming chairs.
Good PR will find the best publications for a business that will put them in front of an audience who will want to know more about them.
An interview on a national television show can take a business to the next level. Hearing someone talk authoritatively about a subject will do more for a brand than paid advertising can. Positive media attention helps to build a business’s authority as an expert in its field.
4. Value for money
Advertising isn’t a cheap way of getting a business seen and talked about. For a new business, it may not be a cost-effective way of building its brand and sharing its story with the world.
Well-placed contributions to discussions online, in publications, or on TV and radio will have far more of an impact on a new business’s growth, than an advert on the side of a bus. This kind of PR helps people get to know a business and the people who are part of it. And once they demonstrate they know their stuff, it’s more likely the right people will want to become customers.
An article or TV interview is likely to reach far more people in the longer term, than an advert. The cost of hiring a PR expert to connect a business with the right opportunities is likely to be far less than an advertising campaign.
5. Using digital marketing to get your business
seen online
Businesses grow online by being seen and showing up in search engines. The more your business is talked about in articles, guest posts, testimonials, and interviews, the more likely it is people will want to find out more and visit your website.
A quote from you in a piece from a national news outlet that includes a link to your website will improve your business’s search engine optimisation and website ranking. A good ranking means you show up higher in search engines helping the business generate more leads and ultimately sales.
6. Crisis management
It’s part of life that things go wrong at some point. And when they do, you need to be able to act fast to minimise the damage. Businesses need PR to not only shout about their successes but to also manage things when something goes wrong.
Having a good crisis management plan in place will save valuable time and limit potential damage when things don’t go according to plan. Being able to respond swiftly and appropriately is key.

2025 is here, bringing a fresh wave of wellness trends that help us live our best, most vibrant lives! From healthier foods to spiritual wellness, this year’s trends are all about boosting our health, beauty and well-being in bold new ways. The Rise of Healthier Ultra-Processed Foods The trend of healthier ultra-processed foods (UPFs) is making waves in the health and wellness world. As people seek convenient, quick options without compromising on nutrition, brands are stepping up with foods that are both functional and nourishing. These foods are getting a fresh makeover, offering a healthier way to fuel up. Immune Health Takes Centre Stage Have you heard? Immune health is the new “gut health”, and it’s shining bright in 2025. People are eager to explore fresh, innovative ways to boost their immunity, moving beyond the basics to find new approaches. With a growing focus on how to care for the immune system in effective ways, this trend is about changing the way we think about health. A New Wave of Spiritual Wellness in 2025 2025 is the year of spiritual wellness! As people search for something "bigger" and deeper, spiritual wellness is taking centre stage. Moving beyond traditional fitness routines, individuals are now seeking meaningful experiences that nurture their soul. This exciting trend has led to a rise in businesses opening studios focused on spiritual wellness, offering spaces for mindfulness, meditation, energy healing and other transformative practices that foster connection, balance and purpose. People are craving more than just physical well-being; they’re looking for a holistic approach to life that feeds the spirit. This fresh wave of spiritual wellness is opening up exciting new possibilities for growth, with a bright future for personal development and brand-new opportunities. Preventive Health Takes the Lead Preventive health is taking the lead in 2025 as people focus more on longevity and maximising their health span. Instead of waiting for illness to strike, individuals are asking, "How can I live a healthy life for as long as possible?" It’s no longer just about treating diseases, but how to actively prevent them. With new advancements in technology, personalised medicine, and a deeper understanding of genetics, we now have more tools than ever to take charge of our health. This shift is all about thriving, not just surviving. Preventive health is becoming the cornerstone of wellness in 2025, helping people make smarter lifestyle choices that lead to longer, healthier lives. Whether it's through better nutrition, exercise or mental health practices, this trend is redefining how we approach health and well-being. Sleep Maxing for Better Health and Skin in 2025 In 2025, "sleep maxing" is quickly becoming a go-to trend, all about making the most of restful sleep to improve both health and skin. This fresh approach combines sleep hygiene with skincare, using products like nourishing night creams that repair while you sleep. By syncing with your body’s natural circadian rhythm, sleep maxing boosts sleep quality and promotes skin rejuvenation. These powerful creams support overnight regeneration, helping you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. It’s a simple way to squeeze more benefits out of your beauty sleep! The Rise of Anti-Blockbuster Fragrance In 2025, the "anti-blockbuster fragrance" trend is taking off, as more people seek unique, personal scents. Fragrance lovers are turning to niche perfumes, choosing exclusive scents that make them stand out. There’s also a rise in perfume dupes, offering affordable alternatives for those looking to mix things up. People are experimenting with new ways to wear fragrance, from layering scents to using hair mists for that extra touch of individuality. The future of perfume might even go digital, with AI helping to create innovative ingredients, Prada is already leading the charge! It’s a fresh, bold approach to scent that lets you express your true self. SPF All Year Round SPF is in the spotlight even more in 2025, sparking lively conversations about whether it should be worn year-round or if it blocks essential vitamin D. The "sun-blush" trend is taking off, as people want that radiant, sun-kissed glow while keeping their skin protected. Supergoop is leading the way, becoming the top brand at Sephora for those wanting to protect their skin while enhancing their beauty. It’s a fresh, simple approach to sun safety that lets you shine bright while staying safe. The New Approach to Anti-Ageing for a Healthier, Timeless Glow In 2025, slow skincare and anti-ageing are evolving into a fresh trend. The focus is shifting from just repairing to preventing, prioritising long-term skin health. With 70% of Gen Z already using anti-ageing skincare, this trend is gaining momentum. It’s all about creating a thoughtful, long-term skincare routine that benefits us for years to come. Combining innovation with timeless skincare rituals, this trend provides a holistic approach to ageing that feels fresh, bright and sustainable.

As we step into 2025, the world of food and drink is gearing up for some exciting changes. From intuitive cooking to upgrading everyday pantry essentials, here are the top trends set to take over the kitchen in the new year. No-Recipe Recipes: Embracing Intuitive Cooking 2025 is all about embracing the freedom of cooking without a recipe! The rise of cookbooks centered around comfort eating highlights a growing love for food that nourishes the body. Alongside this, single ingredient cookbooks are having their moment, as home cooks fall head over heels for the simplicity of easy, no-fuss recipes. But it doesn’t stop there. Intuitive cooking is taking center stage, with more people trusting their instincts in the kitchen, throwing out the rulebook and getting creative. This trend encourages us to reduce food waste, experiment with flavours and adopt sustainable practices in our cooking. On top of that, we’re seeing a surge in maternal and feminine energy influencing cooking. Whether it’s restaurants or cookbooks, there’s a beautiful shift toward meals that centre on care, comfort and connection, a reminder that food is not just fuel, but a way to nurture ourselves and others. Making Everyday Essentials Extra Special: The Premiumisation of Ambient Foods Who says pantry staples have to be boring? Since the pandemic, there’s been a major shift in how we approach food at home, with premium ambient products bringing a little bit of restaurant magic to our kitchens. Thanks to platforms like TikTok and Instagram, chefs and restaurants are now sharing their signature creations online, making gourmet flavours accessible to all. This trend, often called “bringing Michelin home,” is all about upgrading everyday ingredients to elevate meals and make them feel a little more luxurious. From truffle oil to smoky chilli paste, these premium products are transforming ordinary home-cooked dishes into extraordinary creations. Home cooks everywhere are embracing a touch of luxury in their kitchens, adding excitement and creativity to their meals. Who knew that a simple ingredient could take a dish from average to magnificent? Farming for a Healthier Future As sustainability continues to take the spotlight, regenerative farming is becoming a key focus for those looking to make a positive impact on the environment. This approach to farming goes beyond just sustainability, it’s about restoring soil health, boosting biodiversity and reducing carbon emissions, all while growing food that nourishes the planet. More and more consumers are aligning their food choices with their values, seeking out products that support farming practices that help the earth thrive. This trend is picking up steam as we all become more mindful of our environmental footprint and the role we play in creating a more sustainable future. It’s a win-win for both the planet and the people who care about it, helping to create a healthier, more sustainable food system for everyone. Ready to Cook Up Some Change? The food trends of 2025 are about more than just what’s on our plates—they focus on how we cook, where our food comes from and how we can make a positive impact. Whether it’s creating intuitive, no recipe dishes, upgrading your pantry with premium ingredients or choosing sustainable options, there’s never been a better time to get creative in the kitchen. 2025 is shaping up to be the year of cooking with purpose and flavour.

The collagen market is set to reach new heights in 2025, driven by consumer demand for natural beauty solutions, wellness products and ‘beauty-from-within’ supplements. As a result, collagen brands will face unprecedented competition, making PR and strategic marketing essential to stand out. As a health and beauty PR agency, Orange understands first-hand the importance of a strong PR agency for collagen brands aiming to thrive in this rapidly expanding sector. 1. Building Credibility and Trust through Media Exposure In today’s digital world, consumers are overwhelmed with choices. A strong media presence not only boosts brand visibility but also builds credibility as consumers naturally trust products endorsed by established publications or reputable influencers. Seeing a collagen brand featured in top health, beauty or wellness outlets such as The Guardian, Vogue and SheerLuxe or even industry-specific publications instantly enhances trust. Media exposure acts as a third-party endorsement, reassuring potential customers of a brand's legitimacy and quality. With a rise in collagen products available to consumers, those without a media-backed reputation may struggle to gain the same trust level. This is particularly important for collagen products, where consumers are making a health-conscious investment and often seek proof of efficacy and safety. Brands highlighted in trusted media titles stand out, offering peace of mind to discerning customers. 2. The Double Impact: B2C and B2B Benefits PR and marketing are often associated with business-to-consumer (B2C) strategies, but their impact on business-to-business (B2B) is equally vital in the collagen industry. For B2C: Reaching and Retaining Shoppers In the direct-to-consumer (D2C) space, PR campaigns create a memorable brand narrative, appealing to consumers who are increasingly drawn to brands they feel connected to. Through strategic storytelling, collagen brands can convey unique benefits, scientific credibility and product innovations directly to the consumer, who may then feel more confident about purchasing. Compelling stories, customer testimonials and influencer partnerships can be shared across digital platforms, multiplying the reach and encouraging a sense of community and loyalty. For B2B: Attracting Retailers, Stockists and Partners On the B2B front, PR efforts can help secure listings with major retailers, health stores and even wellness clinics, which are increasingly interested in offering collagen-based products to their customers. Retailers often rely on brand recognition and media buzz to determine product demand, so a strong PR presence can be a deciding factor for stocking. Moreover, appearing in trade media titles and B2B industry events can position your brand as a top player, opening doors for partnerships and collaborations. 3. A Competitive Market in 2025: The Need to Stand Out With the collagen industry projected to grow by nearly 10% annually from 2024 through 2030, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. Competitors are continuously innovating, launching new formulations and targeting niche consumer groups (such as vegan collagen). In such a landscape, unique messaging and consistent brand exposure are key. PR and marketing can give your brand a unique voice that speaks to current trends and sets it apart. Through careful audience segmentation, tailored campaigns and real-time response to trends, PR helps you rise above the noise, ensuring consumers choose your product over a competitor’s. 4. The Power of Digital PR: Boosting SEO and Brand Visibility In the digital age, digital PR has become a game-changer for collagen brands seeking to build authority and attract a larger audience. Digital PR focuses on securing online coverage, backlinks and social mentions across digital platforms. These efforts not only enhance brand visibility but also significantly improve search engine rankings – a vital strategy in today’s competitive collagen market. Here’s how Digital PR can elevate your SEO and brand profile: High-Quality Backlinks for SEO Authority Securing coverage in reputable online publications, health and beauty blogs and industry sites generates high-quality backlinks. Search engines, especially Google, view these backlinks as votes of confidence, which boosts your website’s domain authority. For collagen brands, securing backlinks from authoritative health, wellness and beauty sources can signal credibility and help push your site higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). Digital PR campaigns that target high-domain authority publications can play a key role in enhancing your brand’s online visibility, making it easier for potential customers to find you when they search for terms like "best collagen supplements" or "collagen benefits for skin." Driving Organic Traffic through Online Mentions and Shares In addition to backlink benefits, digital PR often results in social media shares, mentions and influencer collaborations. These online interactions drive organic traffic to your website, allowing you to reach new audiences who are interested in collagen products but may not have previously known about your brand. A well-crafted digital PR campaign can spark conversations around your products, encouraging users to engage, comment and share – signals that search engines reward. For example, if your collagen product is featured in a beauty round-up on a major lifestyle site, it can lead to a surge in traffic and social engagement, giving your website an SEO boost and increasing brand awareness among a broader audience. Keyword-optimized Content for Long-Term Search Value Digital PR also includes creating and promoting content around trending and high-performing keywords. By targeting keywords related to consumer interest – such as “benefits of marine collagen,” “collagen for joint health,” and “2025 collagen trends” – brands can drive long-term ¹https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/collagen-market organic search traffic. Articles, press releases and expert comment or thought leadership pieces created as part of a digital PR strategy serve a dual purpose: they boost visibility in relevant searches and reinforce your brand’s authority on these topics. Working with Orange will ensure that every piece of your brand’s content aligns with SEO goals, enhancing your search rankings and drawing in high-intent visitors over time. Building Brand Trust and Credibility Through Digital PR Lastly, digital PR provides critical social proof. When potential customers see your brand mentioned by trusted media outlets, health experts and well-known influencers, it helps establish legitimacy and trustworthiness. For collagen brands, where consumers often research products before buying, this kind of third-party endorsement is invaluable.
