What companies get wrong about case studies, white papers, and press releases \u2013 plus our top 10 tips to help your organization stand out from the pack<\/h5>\n

From IC Insider <\/em>Writing Power<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The government contracting market is a competitive and dynamic space. Of the many organizations that seek to establish or expand their reach there, some will stumble, while others will rise to the top. What distinguishes the winners from the losers?<\/p>\n

You may have the best products, leaders, and technology in the industry, but they won\u2019t matter without strong marketing communications (MarCom) to support them. The Writing Power<\/a> team has spent the last 20 years helping organizations energize their communications using an audience-based approach that gets results. Here are the three MarCom assets that contractors should be thinking about, according to our experts \u2013 and 10 actionable tips to help raise your game.<\/p>\n

Essential MarCom Asset 1: Case Studies<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Case studies are brief narratives about a customer\u2019s success using your product or service \u2013 and the Writing Power team considers them marketing gold. Case studies enable prospective clients, customers, and partners to envision working with you to achieve excellent results. In a page or two, an outstanding case study can do more to define your brand and communicate your value than a truckload of \u201ccommitted to the mission\u201d copy.<\/p>\n

How to Write a Better Case Study <\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Tell a compelling story<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A strong case study contains all of the elements of a great narrative \u2013 a challenge, an approach, and a resolution. To get the most out of your case study, you must be able to convince the reader that something important was at stake in the problems your customer was facing, which you helped solve.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Engage public sector partners and get buy-in<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It\u2019s a good idea to tell clients that you\u2019d like to feature them in a case study \u2013 and getting approval is a must-do for state and federal agency customers. But the best case study writers go beyond that, interviewing the customer and learning about the experience of working with your company from the other side. The insights captured during the case study creation process can form the foundation for more effective messaging across the company.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Prove the ROI<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        As any case study expert will tell you, showing the impact of your work is a crucial part of a convincing case study. Although a good case study uses elements of narrative craft, it\u2019s also a persuasive piece at its core \u2013 you are both telling a story and making an argument in support of your organization\u2019s work. That means you must demonstrate return on investment (ROI).<\/p>\n

        The linchpin of that argument is data that shows how your work contributed to your customer\u2019s success. This is often more difficult than it sounds, because organizations tend to gravitate toward data that shows what they did rather than the outcomes those activities made possible. Finding creative ways to show true outcomes is the best way to prove a powerful ROI.<\/p>\n

        Essential MarCom Asset 2: White Papers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        A white paper in a marketing communications context is distinct from a white paper that a federal or state agency may ask for as part of the procurement process, in response to an request for information (RFI), sources sought notice, or broad agency announcement. MarCom white papers are just as essential. A good marketing white paper can form the foundation of an entire quarter of profitability and revenue generation, with a hub-and-spoke campaign model.<\/p>\n

        How to Write a Better MarCom White Paper<\/strong><\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. Delivering real value is job number one<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Some white papers come across as thinly veiled advertisements for the company\u2019s products or services. More often than not, that kind of \u201csalesy\u201d approach will backfire. A strong white paper\u2019s purpose is to deliver high-value content to the reader. The secondary benefit \u2013 and the reason that white papers are such powerful tools \u2013 is that it is an effective way to position your company as an innovative, thoughtful industry leader. But delivering value has to be the top priority.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Ground the argument in strong research<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Unlike other types of digital MarCom content an organization might produce, a white paper carries with it an expectation of robust research and painstaking citation. Supporting the argument with authoritative research adds credibility to the paper\u2019s claims, helping to shape the reader\u2019s perception of your organization\u2019s expertise on the topic. Moreover, research adds valuable context to the argument, placing your company in conversation with other industry leaders. It also serves to differentiate your organization, which is critical in a crowded market.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Write and design the piece to catch \u2013 and sustain \u2013 interest<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Because of their technical complexity, white papers too often get bogged down in unreadably dense prose. Good white papers encourage readers to engage deeply with the piece and, by extension, with the company that produced it. Smart planning and organization of the written copy, combined with close attention to design elements and layout, can support the reader\u2019s sustained attention.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Start with the end in front of you<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Always keep the end goal in mind, both in terms of planning and drafting the paper itself, and in terms of developing a plan for how to use the white paper in the service of the organization\u2019s strategic initiatives. Each white paper is an investment. Companies that offer white papers as a standalone digital download are missing the opportunity to multiply the piece\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n

                Essential MarCom Asset 3: Press Releases<\/strong><\/h2>\n

                Unlike the other two MarCom assets we\u2019ve discussed, press releases are sometimes thought of as a basic, straightforward copy assignment. But after reviewing thousands of press releases ourselves over the years, we\u2019re here to tell you that a great press release is rare. A well-executed press release is a powerful tool with the ability to amplify your news\u2019s reach. A mediocre press release, on the other hand, often ends up meeting an editor\u2019s delete button.<\/p>\n

                How to Craft a Better Press Release<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                  \n
                1. Think from the editor\u2019s perspective<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Make sure the release clearly explains how the announcement is newsworthy \u2013 not from the company\u2019s perspective, but from the target publication\u2019s perspective. While editors expect press releases to have a promotional angle, they won\u2019t get far unless they communicate why this information should be reported and shared with a publication\u2019s audience.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Make the press release easy to use<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    There are a hundred stylistic details that add up to a promising press release, from using AP Style to refraining from adding courtesy titles. The closer a release is in style and format to that of the publication, the sooner the news can go from press release to story.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Add context<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      While there are certain elements common to most press releases \u2013 the announcement paragraph, the quotes from executives and spokespeople \u2013 there\u2019s a surprising amount of variety in how companies approach background information. Rather than providing the basic news alone, try adding broader context in the second half of the release. This is an opportunity to position the organization in the marketplace and highlight its differentiators. Surprisingly, it\u2019s a technique that few companies use.<\/p>\n

                      Each of these three MarCom assets can have a dramatic impact on your organization\u2019s success. Even better, each of them can be outsourced, freeing up your internal team to focus on important strategic initiatives. Investing in great case studies, white papers, and press releases will pay dividends for years to come.<\/p>\n
