Thought Leadership
Nowadays products, services and even business models can be copied and very quickly. What competitors can't do is copy a company's view of the world, its attitude and ideology. In the modern marketplace companies will position and distinguish themselves from their competition with their ideas about the society they operate in. Customers don't just buy from companies anymore, they buy into them.
Citigate Dewe Rogerson helps its clients articulate their views on critical issues and build their authority with all the audiences that can influence their business.

Digital Media & PR
CDR’s digital PR team specialises in bridging the gap between traditional public relations and the volatile world of online communications.
The world of digital PR (sometimes known as online PR or social media marketing) is moving quicker than ever before, leaving businesses in a quandary about what the right tools are and whether the time investment produces any return.
At CDR, we aim to address these concerns by providing an integrated approach, working in tandem with traditional PR, to manage your reputation and deliver business benefits.
Our award-winning approach to digital PR is built on four key elements:
1. Listen – we employ buzz monitoring tools to work out exactly what is being said and the sentiment towards your brand
2. Engage – we identify key influencers across multiple channels, whether it’s blogs, Twitter, forums or social networks, and build meaningful relationships
3. Enhance – we believe that digital PR can play an important role in search engine marketing, in particular natural search (SEO), forming an integral part of your overall online strategy
4. Create – where appropriate, we create content that adds value - from social network applications to viral video content
Decision making in the consumer and B2B world today is now much more dynamic, and buyers are sceptical of spin: honesty, openness and maintaining a dialogue goes further than just sending message to your audience. Digital PR, working as part of a core PR programme, embraces these changes and provides a platform for effective communications.
