BCA Profiles: Be Social PR, Agency Digital Presence Award

Be Social specializes in public relations, influencer relations, event marketing, social media marketing and digital publicity. Alongside Founder Ali Grant, PR Manager Kate Labat and team offer up savvy approaches to modern media and strategic communications for fashion, beauty, lifestyle and talent brands across the spectrum. The Agency Digital Presence Award recognizes communications agencies, and solo practitioners with a robust online presence and clear command of online branding, content and marketing tactics.

Internally, Be Social utilizes its digital presence for employee recognition and internal updates. If an employee has been promoted, or simply achieved a great client press win or accolade, the team manager sends a company-wide email for an employee shout out. Be Social also recognizes new employees or special awards with shout outs on the company’s Instagram.

Be Social’s consistent branding across platforms creates an inviting, intriguing and overall desirable presence, which has proven a successful strategy to field inbound talent inquiries and client leads.
