There are two traditional approaches that crowdfunding agencies like Buzztilt use to help their clients; one is social media advertising and promotion, and two is on the PR side of things where Buzztilt lands. In 2017, there are an incredible amount of projects that launch every day on the major crowdfunding platforms which means competition for attention is fiercer than ever. For ever 10 projects that launch on Kickstarter, over 7 on average will fail to meet their raise goal. It’s fair to stay now, more than ever, having a PR strategy in place should be a part of every campaign’s arsenal.
