Given the digital first nature of the modern world, it’s sometimes difficult to conceive of a landscape where technology and public relations for technology was in its infancy. Performing public relations for the world of technology has come a long way since it first emerged in the early part of the 2000s. So complex has technology become that issuing out press releases and arranging the odd interview for a tech executive isn’t enough anymore. CCOs, CMOs and CEOs now expect bold, strategic communications that cut through the noise and deliver measurable business impact. Let’s explore some of the strategies for tech PR in more detail.

Digital Infrastructure Demands More Strategic PR

The digital infrastructure and enterprise technology sectors continue to evolve rapidly. Generative AI, for example, is still in its absolute infancy. Key trends including data center innovation, energy efficiency, edge connectivity, network virtualisation, and cybersecurity are redefining the narrative and it’s important that corporate storytelling can keep up. As the market grows and AI’s role continues to expand (particularly at the edge), companies must communicate their value clearly and credibly to stay competitive.

Proactive PR Builds Trust and Credibility in a Complex Market

The B2B (a.k.a. enterprise) tech space thrives on innovation, but it can be overwhelming for decision makers. Whether it’s AI data traffic patterns or evolving compliance standards, bringing simplicity amongst the complex is key. Effective PR comes from fully understanding the complexity of the narrative and demystifying the technicalities, positioning your technology as a trusted, market leader. Transparent, proactive and digestible communication around issues like scalability, security, and sustainability builds the credibility and inspires the trust that drives long-term relationships.

The Way You Tell Your Narrative is Your Differentiator

Your brand is so much more than just your logo — it’s the story behind how you impacted the industry. To stand out, leverage the following three tools:

Media Relations: Secure placements in relevant publications to spotlight your thought leaders and your official, corporate message. Move beyond reactive press releases; pitch your executives as expert commentators on newsworthy topics like AI and edge networking.

Thought Leadership: Speaking slots and awards, even those with a cost, enhance credibility and raise the profile of your spokespeople. Use them alongside bylines in trade publications to showcase expertise and build buyer trust.

B2B Content Marketing: Quality content matters. Avoid generic or advertorial fluff. Invest in well written and informative blogs, white papers, and case studies that solve real world problems in a relatable way, reflecting your brand’s key message.

Maximize Social Media and Trade Show Impact

Social media is more than a megaphone—it’s a platform for storytelling and relationship-building. Evaluate your approach: Are you engaging influencers? Starting industry conversations? Trade shows, too, are crucial. Prepare executives and spokespeople for interviews, plan announcements, and pitch media before and after events to maximize coverage and ROI.

Measuring PR Success

Ultimately, PR must align with your commercial goals. Are your efforts increasing visibility, credibility, and engagement? A strong agency partner won’t just pitch stories, they’ll help craft a strong strategy that positions you as a leader in digital infrastructure and enterprise technology.
