EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<br />

The foundation of any successful public relations campaign is primary<br />

research. Keeping this in mind, Wolfpack PR conducted and analyzed<br />

research to identify key attitudes and preferences among potential<br />

publics for <strong>Xistance</strong>. Wolfpack PR completed the necessary research<br />

and gathered quantitative data that will serve as the cornerstone for<br />

the development of the public relations campaign. Our goals were to<br />

discover the best channels to increase public awareness and reach<br />

<strong>Xistance</strong>’s target publics and to identify the motivations and values of<br />

individuals who use social media or social media-type services. In<br />

order to achieve these goals, our research addressed the following<br />

questions:<br />

• What are the best messaging techniques to reach <strong>Xistance</strong>’s target<br />

publics?<br />

• What is the best way to raise awareness of a startup company that<br />

has not yet launched?<br />

• What does each target public, as identified by <strong>Xistance</strong>, look for in a<br />

social media or social media-type platform?<br />

• How does the value of privacy vary among <strong>Xistance</strong>’s target<br />

audiences?<br />

In order to answer these questions, Wolfpack PR developed an<br />

instrument for an online survey. Participants for the survey were<br />

recruited based on <strong>Xistance</strong>’s target publics. In order to reach these<br />

recruits, the survey was posted to specific Facebook groups and<br />

Reddit forums, as well as directly emailed to individuals known to<br />

members of Wolfpack PR. These individuals were then asked to<br />

forward the survey link to others, creating a snowball sample.<br />
