Who we work with

Automotive Services and Value Chain Q&A

Why is working with a specialist Automotive Engineering PR agency better than a generalist PR agency or a tech PR or consumer agency?

Put simply, it is about expertise, understanding and sector knowledge and having the closest relationships with the global opinion leaders that matter to automotive engineering PR and , Automotive Technology PR clients. Influence is a pioneering engineering service PR agency with deep domain expertise. More than a decade ago, two of our founding clients were an Electric Vehicle (EV) start-up brand and a Lithium-ion battery technology company, and we knew how innovations in technology would create new opportunities across the automotive industry and beyond. We are proud to be the leading global automotive engineering PR agency, and one of only a few who specialise in these sectors. We focus this expertise to benefit our engineering service PR clients and give them unparalleled access to the global opinion formers they need to project their brand and business. A generalist, tech or consumer agency can’t provide this level of sector knowledge. We believe it's the difference between great and good.

What does an Engineering Services PR agency do?

A specialist PR agency focussing on automotive engineering services communications strategies can help companies in many ways. At Influence, we have a proven model that helps clients refine and focus their messaging to really cut through and provide a key point of difference. Having laser-focussed messaging is the first step. We then take your message to key global influencers in your space, such as influential journalists and opinion formers, who in turn amplify that message through respected channels. Those channels can be traditional media (print and broadcast), your own channels or the specific targeting of appropriate audiences through social media such as LinkedIn. Powerful brand building amongst critical audiences is vital to business success.

What Engineering Services PR services do you offer?

We deliver all the services you would expect from a specialist automotive PR agency but also have ex-engineers on staff that really understand the sector. This allows us to develop brand-building strategy, positioning and key messaging. Having worked in the automotive industry all our lives, we have a global opinion-leading media and influencer network second to none. We work with all forms of media and channels to deliver effective targeting. Influence has managed and supported the launch of hundreds of new automotive technologies, from content and event production through to social media and community management. We have also created communication strategies to support numerous automotive technology start-up companies on their journey from stealth mode to scale-up. We are very much promoters as well as protectors, so reputation management and crisis communications are also part of our client offering.

What is your approach to Engineering Services PR?

At Influence, we have a proven brand-building model to help bring brands from early stage, stealth mode through a number of phases, each building on the last to introduce the businesses to key opinion formers. We are very focused on key messaging to ensure it ‘cuts through’ in an ever more crowded marketplace at the right time and through the most effective channel. For businesses that are already in the market, we use similar tools but focus on amplification and mass awareness. All this ensures your brand and comms are clearly differentiated from competitors, and we support you in delivering your business objectives.
